Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Eliquis in itself doesn't cause headaches. It's not a typical side effect. The only scenario would be, if you had a brain hemorrhage in which Eliquis might play a part but in that scenario you would usually have other symptoms. If only isolated headache, Eliquis can't be blamed.

I hope to have been of help.
