A member asked:
Husband takes eliquis for a-fib. he nicked his lip while shaving, just a nick. bleeding for 4 hours, not dramatic, just oozing. what can we do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minor cuts: Prolonged pressure on any wound will lead to clotting. Can also try styptic stick which is used for cuts during shaving. It does sting briefly. Lip balm or Vaseline has also been reportedly helpful.

A member asked:
I'm on Eliquis. I also have occipital neuralgia. During intercourse this week, I felt a shock up my neck as I was laying on my side. Would I aggravated the neuralgia? Because I am now having head aches & dizziness. Surely not bleed/Eliquis related?

A member asked:
I have occipital neuralgia & have recently begun Eliquis. After recent intercourse (laying on my side/neck) I've developed a bad neck ache/head ache. My hematologist says surely not a bleed/rupture caused by the Eliquis during intercourse. Thoughts??
