Your stroke risk extends beyond the period when you're in active afib. In fact, the point of highest danger is the period after afib has converted back to NSR. Although your risk is pretty low being a CHADS 1, it's still higher than someone who doesn't have afib. The trouble is you have no way of knowing how effective your plan is, nor how it might interact with the Eliquis. All in all, you'd just be rolling dice in a high stakes game without knowing if your plan is more effective, less effective, or downright dangerous. Not sure what you're trying to accomplish.
