Atrial Flutter

Posted by dandl48 Dave @dandl48, Dec 30, 2024

Was diagnosed a month ago With Atrial Flutter and in meetings with my Cardio MD he suggested an ablation to stop the flutter, hopefully reducing the chance of a stroke in the future. Any input is welcomed.

I would love to find an alternative to Eliquis since it's sooo expensive, but I need more than the word of the seller that it is an effective blood thinner. Each to his own I guess.

U can request a certain blood test that measures the thickness of your blood. I don't think they do this routinely you may have to ask for it and you may have to pay for it
I always wondered how everybody's blood could be the same thickness and everybody having to take the same amount of the drug?

The company will help pay for the drug if you meet the qualifications and there's a site called GoodRx you might want to check into that for special pricing
