A member asked:
Would having intercourse while on eliquis cause a potential brain bleed? especially if the position puts pressure on your head or neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eliquis does not cause or promote "brain bleeds", and only affects blood coagulation. An intracranial hemorrhage can be due to trauma, rupture of vascular malformations or aneurysms, malignant hypertension, or can be associated with several hematological conditions such as hemophilia or thrombocytopenia. If you fear positional risks, see your doctor and evaluate your specifics.

Follow up question - would repeated pressure on the head/ neck area during intercourse be enough to cause a bleed if also taking Eliquis during that time?
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??
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?
