Taking Eliquis and Metoprolol for A-fib: Concerned about side effects

Your post caught my eye because you said massage therapy. On the Mayo website under blood thinners of which Eliquis is, it reads not to have a massage because of possible bruising and to consult your physician. I did and he said only the lightest touch should be used. What is your experience?

I'm 73 and have had regular massage for 35 years. I think it's great. You might start with a short session and gentle touch. After, observe if any bruising. If not, then request alittle more pressure. The benefits out weigh the problems. The doctor who poopoos massage probably thinks a martini is fine. Get my drift?

@gator66, thank you for your post. I had not thought about bruising with deep massage. It certainly should be a concern.
