I have noticed no symptoms that I could attribute to Coumadin, and my older brother in permanent afib has had no problem with it either. He said he fully expected to have trouble because his doctor was reluctant about putting him on it, but he has been pleasantly surprised that he notices no difference. in sinus in Seattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 I think your Dr. is correct. I may be mistaken, but I don't recall any discussion on this board regarding the side effects you describe being caused by coumadin. The www.affacts.org site does list stomach upset as a possible side effect of the drug, however. Thor COUMADINE I have been put on Coumadine recently. By coincidence or not, I have felt terrible since starting on this medication.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 I am in sinus, all the bad feeling started with the coumadine. My doctor claims he has never heard of side effects that include fatigue and headaches. Joe Y. Re: COUMADINE Are you still our of rhythm? Those are effects that I feel while in a long term attack.
