When we discovered I had afib, I was put on Eliquis.
I was referred by my cardiologist to an electrophysiology cardiologist to be evaluated for a radio frequency ablation of my heart. That cardio gave the go ahead, and about 6 months later I had the RF ablation.
6 months after that, I was put on a heart monitor and given a battery of tests, all of which showed my heart was back to normal. The electrophysiology cardiologist told I could stop the Eliquis immediately.
So I would say ask your PCP or cardiologist for a referral to an electrophysiology cardiologist, and go from there.
