Avatar n tn Tinzaparin could be a cause for hair loss. In the case report that follows the alopecia, commonly called hair loss, was reversible with the switch to another low molecular weight heparin.

2059648 tn?1439766665 I suffer from hypothyroidism not hyper so can not speak from my own experience re your problem but some of what you say is confusing and contradictory. For instance, the low tsh value you report from 13 years ago would not be associated with weight gain but would be more indicative of hyperthyroidism and weight loss. And a hot nodule would more likely suppress tsh levels than increase them. I will leave any discussion of treatment options for those who share your symptoms.
Avatar f tn Make sure your doctor looks at you ECG about 7 to 10 days after starting the med. Your blood pressure is ok. It should get better with exercise and weight loss. You have a good attitude and are on the right path.
Avatar n tn I am 62 years old and very active. I weight lift, jog, and ride a bike. Will I have to take warfarin all of my life or at some point can I discontinue it?
Avatar n tn - why a clot should form in my heart when the muscles were damaged six years back and considering that I am on aspirin+clopidogrel which too have anti clotting function. - warfarin may be slightly better as compared to aspirin+ clopidogrel, but in my case with no AF, does it makes sense getting into this risky business of conatantly monitoring of INR and fear of bleeding. - I have seen on net some other drugs in market which are equally good as warfarin with lower risk of bleeding.

Avatar m tn 9 Months ago I had a DVT, Which broke off and became a PE. The DVT was in my Left Knee, and after 3 months of using Warfarin and several Ultrasounds and VQ Scans Later I was diagnosed as Fine and no more need for the Warfarin.

Avatar m tn heparin is used because it acts immediately. Warfarin might be given, but it takes a day or two to begin working. But heparin is given by injection or instead usually by IV, so it's not practical except when the patient is in the hospital. Warfarin is oral. IV is better because the dose that is delivered to the bloodstream is more sure. Injecting heparin into the body can results in variable dosing, depending on the nature of where the heparin is injected (e.g.
Avatar n tn I am so sorry for your and your father's loss. That's terrible. I don't have a pacemaker, but I have heard that people with pacemakers have to worry about clots building up around the site of the pacemaker. My father-in-law has an implanted defibrillator and he takes coumadin. I don't think everyone who takes it will necessarily get the GI bleeding.
Avatar n tn Examination of the brain shows the ventricles to be normal in size and position and there is no evidence of intracerebral mass or hemorrhage. The flair in the T2 weighted sequences show a slight increase in signal in the white matter of both occipital lobes, slightly greater on the left. This suggests the presence of demyelination perhaps on the basis of ischemic change.
Avatar f tn continue warfarin therapy, withhold warfarin therapy for a period of time before and after the procedure, or temporarily withhold warfarin therapy and also provide a "heparin bridge" during the perioperative period. Which management option to follow is primarily determined by the characteristics of the patient and by the nature of the procedure.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with AF 9 months ago. Went on Warfarin and then had a failed cardioversion. Went on Amiodarione and had a 2nd failed cardioversion. Was taken off the Warfarin and Amiodarone and told my AF is permanent and ablation unlikely to work either. Half the time I feel kind of OK ... then I get a few 'bad days' when I feel so dizzy and faint with mild tinnitus in both ears and edema in both feet/ankles. I just lie on bed most of the time until it passes.
Avatar n tn He was also on Warfarin after his second surgery. Last December, he had sore throat for three weeks and one day he vomitted and in like 15 mintues he passed away. I am not surre if his tissue valve failed or something else.
Avatar n tn continue through with warfarin, or to stop the warfarin and bridge in between with enoxaparin or heparin (as snconorm had done). http://www.circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/116/22/2531 So continuing through with warfarin seems to be the newer strategy. What would NOT be done is to stop anticoagulation altogether.
Avatar f tn Given that yesterday he said to not take the warfarin he was changing me from the genertic warfarin and putting me on the brand name of the med coumadin. Said some folks do not tolerate warfarin well but do well on coumadin and i am to start the coumadin today. I would be lying if i didn't say i am a bit gunshy at this point. This med has made me absolutely miserable and today is my 43rd bday...

1569985 tn?1328247482 I am worried about being on Warfarin. I really smacked it, but it did not break the skin and I did not see stars, pass out or anything. I called the nurse and she told me to watch for double vision or dizziness, but she said they worry more about people slipping and falling and cracking their head. So far I just have a slight headache, but my anxiety is kicking in and that's never good. Has anyone had this happen? Any input? Thanks.
