I Just received my 1st shipment of Apixaban (Eliquis) from Discount Canada Drugs, discountcanadadrugs .com. Phone 833.200-5343. Previously, I had been
using another Canadian pharmacy. I changed to this one as it is much less expensive.
I was surprised it arrived very timely. If you use referral code "BER-LEO-540
they will give you $20 off your first order.
I had a conversation with my Cardiologist related to this yesterday during my semi annual visit. I had an ablation one year ago and since then no AFIB episodes.
I take my BP at home daily and have seen no indication of any irregular HR. (My device has an indicator to show that). Asked if I could stop taking Eliquis. He said that even with the daily readings I could still have AFIB episodes I’m just not catching. And even a very short duration episode could cause a clot. So I’m staying on the Eliquis.
My understanding is that an Afib related stroke is caused by a blood clot originating in the heart that travels to the brain. You may want to research whether there is a correlation between cholesterol and strokes?
There are two types of strokes, but both amount to the same thing: blocking of oxygenated blood supply to the affected area, so that area must die. If in the brain, it's potentially very bad. If in the heart, it's potentially very bad. If in the lungs, same thing.
The two kinds of stroke are from blockage due to stenosis (restriction of flow cross-section, which is what happens when there is plaque restricting flow too much) and due to clots that get jammed into place at a narrow-enough spot, and from there they prevent further flow of blood past that point. Anything needing that flow of blood will promptly die.
Once you have such a stenosis, that being caused by plaque deposition anywhere along a blood vessel, you can't reverse it. It can be displaced via a angioplasty, or pressed back out of the way, but it's usually just the buying of time. It can be bypassed with a stent of a length of blood vessel taken from somewhere else in your body, often an ankle.
Diet can only help so much if your genetics make you a hyperlipid producer. Some of us are that; we have hyperlipidemia and it's really not our fault any more than our looks or our big noses are. We have to choose our parents more carefully....next time.
So, no, in most cases, a diet cannot 'eliminate' the problem. It can help, though, by eating a diet suitable for the risks that genetics and other factors like stress make difficult to manage.

Good to know, How are they shipped?
So are yours Eliquis or a generic?
Thanks
Keep us posted how you are after the ablation.
I also have pacemaker set for 60 beats per minute, It was to help with bradycardia
Take care--Thanks
Does anyone know what type of cholesterol or fat causes the blockage during a stroke?
Can a good diet eliminate the problem?
