Eliquis Muscle Problems

Updated

began taking Eliquis in May after an AFib episode. After about 2 weeks I began experiencing what feels like habitual anxiety and muscle problems. Am currently experiencing headaches, being light headed and dizzy. I had several times initially when taking the medication when I thought I was going to have a blackout.

Hello, Tessa! How are you feeling? I'm sorry about the problems you've had.

Those can be side effect of Eliquis, many have complained about similar problems. As listed by the FDA, you may also experience increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising.

Have you consulted your doctor? You may need to switch to a different medication.

I have suffered from the side effects of Eliquis after a slipped disc that required surgery. My lower back is in pain, and I have a general muscle weakness.
