@californiazebra Thank you so much for sharing your story. I was really hoping I could live my life med free but sometimes reality paints a different picture. My mom was on warfarin and had many tias, vision loss like you mention and more. So if taking eliquis eliminates some of those risks I will continue. Appreciate your kind words and yes I am hoping this afib is a one and done caused by trauma due to the car vs dog accident that happened 2 days prior to it. Wishing you the best as well. 2-3 ablations is a lot to think about.

I believe Eliquis is much easier to tolerate than warfarin. Sorry to hear about a car vs dog accident, but that definitely sounds like it could trigger a lot of adrenaline to aggravate your heart rhythm. You have hope that was a one-off afib episode. I'm with you on meds. I mostly say no to new meds and try to fix everything organically, but sometimes I have no choice.
