In three months on Warfarin, I thinned over the top and front of my hair (I am a female aged 70) and also my nails went chalky, plus I couldn't sleep well and felt very off colour. The blood tests which were weekly due to an unstable INR became an ordeal when it took two or three attempts. I took Warfarin (for AFib) for about three and a half months and then refused to take it any longer, saying that I would take my chances on aspirin only.
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.

My GP has only allowed me one months supply which i will try in a few days as my pharmacy have to order it in, the strength is 30mg, i was taking 100mg synothoid previously. Please can anyone let me if you have used ARMOUR and if any hair loss has now reversed and your hair has regrown. I would dearly like some regrowth, if not all, and are putting my hope in ARMOUR THYROID. If i cannot get anymore from the GP, i do not know what i will do. I welcome any comments or suggestions.
I was put on Warfarin immediately and have been on it ever since. Six weeks after starting the Warfarin, I had another TEE and the clots were 90% gone. They tried for seven and a half hours to do the ablation, but were not successful unfortunately. I will be on the Warfarin forever, but that is fine because you can’t eat leafy green veggies when you are on it and I despise green veggies so now I have the best excuse not to eat them.
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.
Have you noticed hair loss or thinning? I had surgery and developed DVT then PE, been on Coumadin about 2 weeks, but I'm a serious natural hair girl. If you get on youtube natural hair black women are trying to start a revolution. I'm taking garlic, MSM, vitD, Calcium to hopefully keep my hair growing but scared. Of course I'm scared of dying too so yes I'm going to follow my doctors orders but was just wondering if you as a black woman have noticed any hair problems.
t know how warfarin is affecting your life style. I have been on warfarin for years and had no concerns about running and bike riding, and using power wood working tools. All of these activities puts one at an increased risk of a cut and bleeding, but I simply take the risk. On the other hand, I don't sky dive, or pick fights ....
ginger and glucosamine sulfate will affect coumadin (warfarin) I'm on warfarin and can't take ginger or glucosamine and a host of other supplements.
- 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.
Seven months ago I had a pulmonary embolism and I am told this may have been the second one.I am taking 7 mg of warfarin a day and my INR is 2.5.I had a liver transplant 10 months ago,and was told my vascular system was not great.Given my overall situation I am concerned about heart attacks and strokes.Do you think I should be taking 75mg of aspirin a day as well as the warfarin?Thanks.

She has been on warfarin and monitors it regularly. She also has past history endometriosis and has always had heavy periods and problems with her periods. She also has uterine fibroids that have been giving her problems, even more so since the warfarin. Between the uterine fibroids and the warfarin, her menses are extremely heavy. She is on iron because she tends to be anemic around her period. Her periods are so heavy that she can go through 4-6 large pads an hour, sometimes more.
ve had is wild, vivid dreams all night, every night. No hair loss problems for me. I recently had a PVI ablation for my afib and aflutter and hope to come off the Flecainide very soon.
I have read that some people have had success with Rhythmol. It didn't work for me, but everyone is different. There is also another drug called Tikosyn that several people on this message board are using but you'll want to research it first before going down that path.
I believe it could be a FATAL mistake if you stopped taking the warfarin. Mechanical valves will clot without warfarin and this could cause a heart attack, stroke or heart failure and could cause you to have to have another open heart surgery. PLEASE ,PLEASE talk to your doctor about any changes in the warfarin.
A drastic change in diet can alter INR also, but in my own personal experience, it has usually been other meds that caused me to need to change my warfarin dosage and not my diet. An INR that is consistently out of range is dangerous. Don't worry about maintaining the same dose of warfarin. Worry about maintaining an INR that is consistently within range. Whatever dose of warfarin you have to take to stay in range is okay.
Sometimes aspirin is used in place of the Plavix, and the patient will be on aspirin and warfarin. That type of combo regimen is used when the doctor doesn't think that one drug alone is enough to do the job, and one drug obviously wasn't enough in your case. It seems that your Plavix and warfarin regimen is working, so I'll join you in giving thanks for that.
i have been having some memory loss since my crash but i dont know if it is from medication cos i was only taking warfarin. at least that's all i remember taking.
