@tsch Since the loop recorder didn't pick up any AFib episodes over the past 5 or 6 months, heart doc was ready to take me off the Eliquis right away. Personally, I'd like more than a 6 month period, so I'm still taking it. Does six months without an AFib episode mean that I won't have anymore? I'd LOVE to not take it.... but I figure the drug is extra protection against a stroke IF I ever have another AFib episode. If I go back in six months and still have had no AFib episodes, I may ask him to switch from 5mg twice a day to 2.5 twice a day.
