What Causes Numbness In The Tongue While On Amiodarone And Eliquis?
I am taking amiodarone and eliquis for a recent a-fib. I am experiencing numbness in my tongue, toes and fingers and just began having a sharp headache behind my eyes and my eyes hurt. These side effects are listed under the serious section of the side effects and that I should call my doctor but it s Friday evening. Should I go to the emergency room?

Hello,
There is likely interaction between the amiodarone & apixaban (Eliquis) giving such grave symptoms. An ER visit is mandatory here.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
