I went into hospital on the 31st August to have my sterum wires out, i had to go in early because i was on warafrin due to having a mechanical valve replacement and mitral valve reapir 10 months ago. I came of Warafrin on the sunday before i went in, and as soon as i went in on the monday was placed on a heperin pump, had the wires removed on the thursday and then on the thursday started taking my warafrin again along with Fragmin, my INR levels took a while to get to 2.1well infact 6 days later i had to stay in till they had go within range infact my range is 2.5-3.5, infact they let me come home when they were 2.1 as long as i went back to the hospital Saturday to get my INR. They started me back on my normal dose of 11mg and fragmin right up to the day i came home. I went back to clinic yesterday and my INR is 1, i ended up rowing with the doc saying i wanted fragmin again until my INR went up, but still he didnt give it me said i needed to go to another hospital and there would be nobody there. He said that he would up my dose of warafrin to 20mg saturday, 15mg tonight and go back tomorrow, i have just been looking up on google and they say an INR of 1 is dangerous. I know you guys will know and tell me what to do.
