Eliquis is a anticoagulant and blood thinner. It is used to prevent blood clots and stroke.
Metoprolol is mostly used too reduce blood pressure but also for heart rhythms.

I had an episode of AFib on the 25th of November. Was put on Eliquist from Doc in ER. Saw the cardiologist 10 days later and she agreed I should be on it. I have a lot of anxiety over this. I loved my morning coffee which now makes it worse. Can’t shake the anxiety even after deep breathing & yoga.
She suggested metoprolol might help. My blood pressure is usually 117/59. I am worried it will drop to low. Already side effects Eliquist are headaches, light headed, anxious feelings without the metoprolol. Have not had another episode of AFib since the 25th of November. Has anyone experiencing this? If so how do you deal with this?
