Eliquis and AFIB

After 5 months of diarrhea, cramps, etc on Eliquis, I was finally switched to Xarelto 20 mg.
Symptoms are still there, but not as severe. I can hardly eat anything without feeling sick and always carry Imodium or Pepto-Bismol tablets with me.
My AV node ablation and pacemaker implant were done 6 months ago, and I feel that my quality of life has certainly decreased.
Tire easily and often take two naps a day.
Next step for me is to see a gastroenterologist to see if there might be other intestinal issues going on.
HELP!

Thank you for your quick response. I don't know if my GI is related to Eliquis - going to cardiologist on Monday. Sorry that your ablation and a pacemaker were necessary and your quality of life has decreased. Good luck and feel better.
