Hi @barherman I wanted to joine @yoanne in welcoming you to Connect. Those headaches must be frustrating.
Both @healthytoday @nene22 have mentioned eliquis in the past and may be able to share their experiences with this medication.
Here are a few conversations discussing mitral valve's that you may find useful:

Back to you @barherman has your doctor given you any ideas as to what the headaches could be coming from? How else have you been feeling since the surgery?

Hi, My PCP thought the headache may be from tightness in my neck and upper body from the right side upper body pain. My cardiologist dismissed the complaint as "non heart related". He thought the light headedness was heart related.
All of my incisions are on my right side and my muscles are better but sore, especially my upper right back and right breast. I am doing massage and acupuncture to help with that. I am getting my energy back gradually. I walk every day and plan on going back to work (very part time) tomorrow. I'm looking forward to getting back into the world. I do need to rest for about an 45 minutes every afternoon. Then I feel better. I am assuming this is my body still recovering from surgery. To be honest, I am a little surprised at how slow my recovery has been. The robotic surgery was presented in a way that led me to believe I would be feeling better by now and I never expected to be dealing with on going heart rhythm issues.
