My father takes Eliquis (5mg) and Sertraline (25 mg), once a day. He’s 83. I haven’t noticed anything concerning. He’s been on them together for several months.

All I can say is I take Eliquis and have had no problems other that being careful to avoid nicks and cuts. No blood tests like Coumadin is a big plus. I am unfamiliar with Sertraline.
I just had an Afib ablation yesterday and had no bleeding problems with incision site or IV's. I am 67, your're still a youngster. Best to your health!

Thanks. Sertraline is generic Zoloft.

Is the same Dr prescribing both? If yes, there shouldn't be any concerns unless you do not have faith in your Dr, in which case the Internet is not the place for a solution and you may want to question his reasoning or find another Dr you feel comfortable with.
If on the other hand there are two Drs involved, one needs to know what the other is prescribing, and you should ask either one of them about this.

He does know what med's I'm on. I'm a new patient and new to heart problems but he has a good recommendation from patients. I was hoping someone who takes what I take would give me input and perhaps they will.Thank you for your answer.

Okay, please understand I need to be clear before I can give a responsible answer. Not knowing the details could cause someone to have a negative, even fatal drug interaction. Peace
