What Causes Red Bumps On The Lips While On Metoprolol And Eliquis?
I am into the fourth week of taking metoprolol and Eliquis for three weeks after an episode of atrial flutter/fibrilation and in prep for cardioversion. Tonight while watching TV and falling asleep I had streaking of bumpy red area on an arm and later a smaller red bump on my lips. Did recognize it until a couple of hours later. Has smoothed out and BP OK. Can I wait until morning to see a doctor.
