@gloaming thanks, I will continue to take it for fear of stroke. Would really like to find a fix.

@lwools this is an issue I’ve studied a lot as my EP directed me to 81 mg aspirin after ablation. It sorta makes sense why take anticoagulant if I’m not experiencing AFIB. If I’m constantly in AFIB then elliquis makes sense but why take anticoagulant expensive pill that increases my chances of a bleeding episode if AFIB isn’t happening. It seems that cardiology community would put all patients on anticoagulants regardless of situation.

@lwools wait a minute are you saying that you won’t stop taking it because you might have a stroke? I do realize there’s other risk factors as well. You could bleed out. The fear mongering on here is horrible. I gotta get off this board.
