Swollen ankles and legs, bloated, headaches, tingling in hands, increased side effects of acid reflux. | This medicine is not good for people to take. Obesity is associated with weight gain and other morbidities. Drs shouldn't push people into taking meds that will eventually kill them. I'm very doubtful that I even had PE again. My PC would monitor every six months and all the CT scans were scar tissue from 2013. Now all of a sudden they're saying PE this Feb again, not considering that I have asthma which could have attributed to the shortness of breath. I'm not gonna be a lifer on any of this medicine. It's designed for Drs and big pharmaceutical to make trillions while people suffer. | 50 | 9 months 5 2X day | 10/28/2020 | 3 | Chronic Pulmonary Embolisms | Extreme weight gain, bloating, uncomfortable in skin | Eliquis kept my blood thin, so it "worked", but the side effects were too much for me.
