I've been on Warfarin for about a year now after having a blood clot. It's been a journey, to say the least. I take 10mg tablets daily, and my INR levels have been stable, thank goodness. But I've had some side effects that I didn't expect, like bruising easily and some minor gum bleeding. I've had to be super careful with my diet too, avoiding foods high in Vitamin K. I also had a scare when I started feeling really dizzy, but turns out it was just a mild reaction. My doctor had me monitored closely for a bit. I'm sharing this to warn others: blood thinners are no joke. I also had to deal with a lot of anxiety about the risk of internal bleeding, but regular check-ins with my doctor have helped. I just wish I had known more about the dietary restrictions before I started. Anyone else have tips for managing Warfarin?
