Likely contributed: If you are still taking Eliquis, it is likely that its effect as an anticoagulant contributed to your recent bleeding. But you may have been at an increased risk for problem if you had a pre-existing condition with leg swelling or varicose veins. Important to continue to follow your MD's advice about Eliquis to prevent another blood clot. Elevate your legs to help prevent swelling & discomfort.
