I have had blood clots in my leg for 15 years now...the doctors keep finding new clots every year or so....this last time I was in the hospital for about 5 days and was released with my coumidin...my concern is that my pt and inr tests have been really weird since my release from the hospital 2 and a half months ago.. What should I do?
Do you have a professional helping manage your Coumadin dose?
Are you consistent with your diet, expecially foods with vitamin K? I'm not saying to avoid vit K, just be consistent. Do a seaarch for foods with vit K. typically leafy greem veggies.
Are you consisent with exercise?
Do you have any meds that you take sometimes? Some meds interfere with Coumadin. check with your doctor or pharmacisist.
Hang in there.
