[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1626816, member: 429870"] I am about to give in and take a NOAC as I have been in AF since Saturday afternoon. Years ago I had occasionally recurring paroxysmal AF and when the episodes began to happen too often I began taking the lowest dose of Flecainide, which has given me some trouble-free years. I always resisted taking Warfarin, and no-one was willing to prescribe an NOAC, but now the science has moved on and NOACs are an accepted treatment. Taking an anti-coagulant has its own risks and inconveniences, but in my case now the risk of a blood clot has risen enough to convince me that I have to put up with them. However even now I could not put up with the dietary restrictions and frequent testing required by Warfarin. I have enough testing to do for my bg! I have chosen Apixaban as it has done the best in research, entailing fewer hospital visits than the other NOACs, causing fewer stomach problems, and allowing fewer strokes. I just hope my advisers see this my way! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
