A member asked:
Is taking one eliquis & then bumping your head enough to cause a brain bleed? or is that very rare?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If a head injury is to cause intracranial harm, especially bleeding, a significant force will be necessitated, a possible skull fracture may accompany with or without an arterial tear, bridging veins may be injured, especially in senior citizens. The Eliquis does NOT cause the bleeding but makes it worse if it does start.

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??
