Muscle Weakness and Eliquis - How to diagnose/test for cause?

Posted by devotion @devotion, Jan 13 4:22pm

I've always had somewhat loose ligaments but it is getting much worse since taking Eliquis, which I started about 1.5 years ago. I am now 75 years old. I take a low dose but my body is very sensitive to all medications. I am hesitant to get a Watchman, and am wondering if there is some diagnostic procedure to determine if Eliquis is causing the problems of muscle weakness?

I appreciate that many people have posted about this concern of muscle weakness in relation to taking Eliquis - WHAT DO THE DOCTORS SAY???? Mine tend to know very little about this.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart Rhythm Conditions Support Group.

@debmonroe the medical profession needs to RESEARCH these muscle weakness side effects. Until they do, most cardiologists go by the little insert which says it is rare and they minimize the patient’s complaints. This is my experience.

@devotion does the doctors get kickbacks for Eliquis RXs ?
