After taking Eliquis and Sototol I now have a mucousy substance in my bowel and cannot seem to eat much, no appetite and after a few bites feel sick to stomach. I have stopped the meds, no bowel movements as haven t eaten enough o have any. So now all I get is the mucous on the toilet paper. Know I need to go to a gastroenterologist, but can t get off the toilet or stop cramping up long enough to go. I was taking them as I had my Mitral valve replaced with a Porcine valve 6 yrs ago and had to go to the emergency room with a A-fib and they shocked my heart back into rhythm. Cardiologist says I don t need these meds as when he put the valve in he put a special cap at the top to prevent blood clots. Thanks Dorothy 80 yrs. old.
