The first thing you need to do is calculate your CHADS-Vasc score. You can do that here. If your score is 0 or 1, talk to your EP about stopping the Xarelto. If it's higher than 1 then you shouldn't stop it. However, you could be a candidate for an LAA closure device such as the Lariat, Watchman, or AtriClip. There's a good description of them here. You're the type of patient these devices were designed for, so again, talk to your EP and see if you would qualify.

Unfortunately Eliquis can’t dissolve or prevent a DVT. Traveling on long flights or being bedridden after an ablation or surgery could potentially cause a Dvt clot plus other factors I speculate as well. How I got screwed under my armpit is a mystery.

You're correct not to count the point for being female, but you should count the point for hypertension. I'm afraid the prescription for Farxiga probably means you need to count the point for CHF also. The PH isn't actually a criteria so nothing for that. I think you're a CHADS-Vasc 2. If I were you, I would stay on the half-dose Eliquis.
