@missy245 Thanks so much for your insight. I recently started taking Eliquis because I went into afib during lung surgery, so I will check with my doctors to make sure it's okay. I prefer to take a more natural approach when I can. I can't take stains so it would be great if it lowered my borderline cholesterol numbers. it might have been my cardiologist who first mentioned fish oil. The past couple of years have been a whirlwind and it's been hard to stay on top of it all. Thanks again!

@junieb1 Yes, I'd make sure to clear it with your cardiologist. As I remember eliquis is an anticoagulant and Fish oil is more like aspirin or the drug Plavix . They keep the platelets from sticking together.
I don't have Afib, but I do have atrial tachycardia and that can turn into AFib. sometimes. I've always assumed that if I developed afib, I'd probably need to give up the fish oil
