Brief Answer:
It's not a common side-effect
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
headache is not a common side-effect when taking eliquis, so another cause has to be sought. If you've had a "hammer-like" headache then immediate medical attention is needed to exclude hemorrhage, which is a side-effect of eliquis.
I hope I've helped!
Kind Regards!
