Gail - had the same experience the day after ASD closure when my Doc changed me from Plavix to Eliquis…thought I was going to have to go to the ER. Stopped taking the Eliquis and within 8 hours started feeling much better. My Doc changed me back to Plavix and have been good so far…going on 6 months now.
Have read on this site of others having a bad reaction to Plavix…everyone is different.
