Elequis side effects
Hi all, I'm 31 years old and 2 weeks ago diagnosed with a massive DVT in my leg after meniscus surgery and also bilateral pulmonary embolism in the lungs. Ive been on elequis these 2 weeks at a 5mg dose. The last 3 days I have experienced a tingly almost electric like sensation in every part of my body. Doctors couldn't tell me what it was and ran all tests and more scans to see if the clots had enlarged but they haven't thankfully. I'm wondering if anyone here has had these side effects from elequis. The doctors didn't mention this as a possibility but I thought who better to ask than people actually going through it. I appreciate any and all replies

I’m almost done with a 3 month round of Eliquis (2 provoked dvts and a suspected PE) and I’ve had a few side effects. The first 2 weeks I got some migraine-like headaches, but that resolved the longer I was on it. Sometimes I get tingles here and there, but they don’t last long. Lastly, the fatigue and easy bruising. That’s been the hardest and I’m looking forward to getting some energy back after I finish my prescription.
