Rare serious side effect of Eliquis: Muscle weakness

Muscle atrophy from blood thinners seems to me, to be dangerous, especially since the heart is also a muscle. I am assuming, but could be wrong since I'm not a doctor, that those of us who have suffered blood clots and been put on eliquis have other issues that caused the blood clots in the first place and those issues have to be addressed in order to NOT have to be on blood thinners so that other dangerous issues do not arise. I do agree, this feels like a slow moving poison that is making us even sicker, at least that's how it feels to me.
Less than a year ago I worked out every day and had for years. Now I've slowly become disabled. Yesterday I finally ordered a wheelchair so that my husband can push me to appointments because I can barely walk without falling or passing out.

Sorry for your problems . Could you tell me WHAT IS THE DOSAGE OF ELOQUIS THAT YOU TAKE ?? I know strange things happen in the Medical World . But curious to the MG and how often you take this Med. Reason being I went to Dr. for the FLU and they discovered my Heart rate was 160 ! . They went "POSTAL" on me and shoved me in the ER across the street . I felt fine except for Flu symptoms . The Heart Dr. put me on 25mg twice a day of Eloquis . been on it for a month . Told me to have an Eblation {SP}? Had it done yesterday April 25th .
Was luckily sent home !! after a few hrs of observation . I am worried since reading your post because I have been a partial Paraplegic for 52 yrs . Don't need any more muscle weakness to my body . I had already told Dr I wanted off the Eloquis ASAP . Besides the INSANE COST ,I've heard too many things like your post that scare hell out of me . Do you live near a big city with TOP SHELF MEDICAL Facilities . AKA. Houston, Dallas , Mayo , New York etc. So you can get the BEST DR'S to find out the problem . ? There is an ANSWER {SOMEWHERE} and finding "THAT" place can be as difficult as finding out what's wrong with you . Just my opinion . Wish You well . JUNQDAWG

my heart rate is 15-25 bpm higher than normal, if my heart was working like my legs I would be dead, not really sure why I'm not, if you read one guy on here stopped after 4 years and got better quickly, others takes longer it seems
