: Warfarin Side Effects

[Guest guest]

Hi I was on this meds for about five years. I was very lucky as I had no

problems with my INR but at that time I was around 45-50 years of age. I did

however get terrible pains in my chest and terrible tummy troubles. I have

other problems as well no related to AF.

I was trawling through Google one day and there are a lot of side effects

with this med. Tummy gastric, problems with this med to be honest so many I

stopped looking in the end. On stopping this meds the pains in my chest

stopped and the tummy problems eased. I do not think this was all of my

problems that can be attributed to this one drug but lots of little problems

with all the meds I was on at that time added up to make me feel pretty

grim.

What we must consider is that we have a major problems with a major organ

and we needs major meds which in some of us causes major problems.

Hello Mike:

The side effects may be more prevalent in people that do not eat

consistent portions of green leafy veggies daily. I am on 10mg

daily except Wednesdays when I am on 5mg and I clot almost as fast

as before

: Warfarin Side Effects

Hi

I think side effects do vary from person to person, it is important not

to loose sight of the preventive measures that warfarin provides, I

remember one doctor saying that the worst possible scenario would be to

have a major stroke and survive, personally after having a TIA (minor

stroke) I would have no hesitation but to continue to take warfarin,

even though as a 46 yr old female I have bleeding problems that I will

now need to get treatment for. I have also had problems with thinning

hair and splitting hairs, but the pros far out way the cons for me. It

is however a personal decision that each individual should discuss with

their doctor.
