Hello all - I'm a 41 year old male.
I was diagnosed with high hemoglobin and hematocrit levels.
Prescribed Blood Thinner Eliquis (Apixaban) - I heard it has nasty side effects and would prefer to avoid taking it in the long term.
I've noticed I've found it hard to lose weight which I'm conscious maybe a side effect of taking it (but this has only been validated anecdotally).
Otherwise healthy. Eat well. Stay active. Do my best to drink clean water and avoid as many toxins as I can.
What Should I Do?
Is there a safe way to wean of it?
Shall I just swap it with Aspirin instead?
Is there a lifestyle change that I can make that'll help get to the root cause of why they're elevated?
Any advice or tips regarding some helpful resources would be a BIG help.
Thank you.
