Thank you Martin and others for your help and information. Eliquis is the only medication I take. My cardiologist told me to look into Xarelto and Eliquis and choose one. So I choose Eliquis. I think your idea of talking to a second doctor is probably the best and I do have an appointment coming up. I have one more question. Do you think it would be worthwhile to change to Xarelto and also what treatment could I do besides drugs? My doctor did talk to me about a Watchman. However, I am a level 2 and not a level 3 heart patient. I have checked how much it costs which is a lot. Do you think it would help me to go ahead and pay for it myself. As I said it would be a lot for me but I could do it. Also do you believe the theory that my body might adjust to Eliquis more over time? I really never have had much problem with drugs or my health so I am surprise about this. I will do what is necessary for my health but don't want to give up without trying to help myself. Thanks again all.
