I am Seriously concerned regarding the use of Eliquis versus low dose 81mg coated aspirin. I do not have high pressure today it was perfectly normal. I have had 4 48 hr halter monitor tests six months apart i.e. over 2 years. My last 48 hour monitor in January showed one little atrial flutter. Dr thought I should take 2 50mg of Eliquis daily. The thought of this high powered anticoagulants scare me to death. Although I agree a stroke is not something anyone wishes upon themselves is the slight reduction in the risk of stroke worth the risk of all the other possible side effects. I have no problem with 81 mg aspirin I am 73 and female Thank you so much for your advice. Sincerely. Janet Barber. I was not aware there was fee involved to receive advice. I apologize for troubling you. Thank you.
