: Eliquis does not cause bleeding but makes bleeding more vigorous if an aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation were to rupture. Valsalva-like maneuvers can provoke such latter events if the anomaly is present. Thunderclap headaches can occur with sex, but these are migraine variants, not hemorrhagic events.
