Hello all, three weeks ago while in the ER for the worst stomach virus I’ve ever experienced I was found to have a small infarction in my right kidney. I was put on Eliquis for (hopefully) only the next three months.
I’m 30 y/o Male and living a very physically active life is very important to me. I love to challenge myself physically in my day to day and in the gym, it’s part of who I am. Since starting Eliquis and being told to take it easy due to the risk of internal bleeding, I’ve been left constantly unsure of how hard is too hard to push myself and anxious that I will cause myself a brain bleed.
My doctors haven’t been much help in describing what level of activity is safe- I’m wondering if anyone here has more insight/lived experience with intense exercise while on blood thinners?
Any info would be appreciated!
