I hate taking it, have some minor side effects and am wondering about using something more natural after 4 months since my risk factors are relatively low. I curious about other's experience/viewpoint?
Thanks!

Yes, I've been hearing quite a bit about the side effects of NOAC's that aren't supposed to be occur. I'm not taking them. Regarding being on an anti-coagulant, if Natale is playing it conservative, I'd follow his advice. It takes some time to heal from an ablation, and meanwhile you can get clots. Why take a risk?

That's what his nurse told me.Quote
Here it's usually 3 months. Are you sure Dr Natale would apply this protocole to any ablated patient?
I'm Apoe 3/4 also! I didn't know about the bleed risk.Quote
Being Apoe3/4 (double normal risk intracranial bleed) I really don't want to be taking ACs any longer than I absolutely have to before and after an ablation.

Did Dr Hongo say that you didn't need anti coags ever? Just wondering cos I read that the idea of being on anti coags forever after ablations is controversial.

Eliquis has a lower brain bleed risk than warfarin. The was the Apoe4 post <[www.afibbers.org] and on Eliquis <[www.afibbers.org]

You guys are awesome, thanks for the info!!
I've heard people talk about natokinase and there are other things that thin blood, like fish oil, garlic... Do you all take that after the blanking period for assurance without drugs?
