@lvon A-Fib should be treated with respect. It can cause a major stroke that is often fatal.
The blood thinner I am on is Eliquis. It is the least “ fussy” of all of them. No diet restriction, or bloodwork.
Sounds like you have a lot going on. Please let your cardiologist know how feel and maybe they can make a plan acceptable to you both.
By the way ibuprofen and aspirin will make your GERD worse!

I agree Eliquis is the least “fussy”. I have AFIB and been on Eliquis for 3 years and no issues. I carry Aspirin in my pocket all the time to take immediately on the onset of an episode because that is what paramedics gave me twice when I called emergency. Even though I have had only 4 episodes in 3 years the constant worry and afraid to exercise was bad for health. Had Cryoablation one week ago and back to normal life. No pain, no discomfort no issues anywhere at all. Absolutely superb, one in a million Electrophysiologist Dr. Archana Ramireddy at Ceders-Sanai.

Thanks all blood thinners that were mentioned for me all had side effects of when having wet Macular degeneration which causes bleeding and blindness anyway makes it worse. Thank you I have tough decisions to make.
