Any experiences with Watchman Implant for A-Fib?

I hear so much good about Watchman that I wonder what the downside is. And why was I not put on it originally. Maybe they needed more data? I have now been on Eliquis for around a month and have a stress test next week followed by a summary meeting with my cardiologist.

Hello @fredster4

These are good questions to ask your cardiologist at your next appointment. Sometimes there are protocols for certain procedures. A lot of the people who have Watchman devices implanted have had bleeding problems with Eliquis (or other blood thinners). If you begin to have bleeding problems, you should contact your doctor right away.

How are you feeling taking Eliquis?
