People who have hip or knee replacement surgery also use. apixaban to prevent blood clots from forming in the legs. If a blood clot in the leg breaks loose and travels to the. lungs, it can cause shortness of breath, chest pain, and even death. Doctors also prescribe apixaban to treat an existing blood. clot or to lower the chance of a recurrence.
Q: Does fibromyalgia cause shortness of breath or affect the lungs?
