Almost everyone over 80 takes the blood thinner Eliquis to help prevent strokes...
I’m 90 and refused to take the Eliquis since when I did take it, ten years ago, for a couple of months, I’d get bruises and leaking veins from the slightest bump...
All cardiologists recommend Eliquis, ours (wife & I) included...
My wife (age 85.5) takes it...
It can be a $200 per month habit...
Our other mainstay is Metoprolol for blood pressure...
Wife’s blood pressure runs between 120 and 125
My blood pressure is always around 130-135 due, in part, to a few years of cyclic short-term doses of steroids...
