I do take a 80mg. aspirin pretty much every day, I had a problem with a blood thinner (Coumadin) couldn't take it, never tried these new ones, don't see where they would be different for me. I know all the things they say about aspirin but I feel for me it is better than nothing, I also have had a problem with Natto (gives me aura migraines) so I am limited in what I take. I have had episodes of AF for 20 years, I haven't taken aspirin all that time more so the last few years and I am still here.

Liz. Forgive me. I should know this but do you manage your Afib with medicine and lifestyle or have you had an ablation?
I have never had an ablation, I take 1 tab. (150mg.) of Propafenone at night before bedtime as I am vagal and get my episodes at night or very early in the morning. I do get episodes sometimes once a month or in the summer I can go a lot longer between episodes. My heart rate doesn't go real high usually in the 80s or low 90s so it isn't so bad. I do take more Propafenone when I get an episode. I take Magnesium every day, zinc, vit. C, a B complex which I think helps. I also got AF because of being Hyper from too much Thyroid meds., so there was a reason for it. I have a large garden, berries and fruit trees, I can and freeze and store my produce so perhaps that helps.

interesting about taking Eliquis PIP. Seems to me that on my recent refill some of the info on the warning label has changed. Seems to focus more on stopping it causing strokes. In other words we know if we stop that we are back to square one re danger of a stroke when in a-fib but seems to state that just stopping Eliquis can cause a stroke just by having been on it =0:

Isn't the half life of Eliquis 12 hours? You can work it out how long it takes to completely leave the system.
It's confusing if the 12 hours is indeed the case because they recommend to take one every 12 hours. This would ramp up the level of the drug in the system?
So, i hope Kate has the right info.

My ? was why a person stopping it has a higher stroke risk?
They don't have a higher risk of stroke than they did before taking the anticoagulant. They simply lose the protection and return to the risk level they had before.
