I could use some help. My INR has dropped again and I have no idea why. In March (and most of the winter) I was in range with an INR of 3.2. But since then I've had trouble reaching my range of 2.5 to 3.5.
3/27 INR=2.1, increased from 26 to 28mg per week
4/10 INR=2.3, increased from 28 to 30mg per week
4/24 INR=1.7, increased from 30 to 34mg per week
5/8 INR=1.8, increased from 34 to 40mg per week
5/22 INR=2.7, in range! was a happy camper
6/5 INR=2.0, increased from 40 to 44mg per week
What is wrong with me? I haven't changed my diet, my exercise has leveled off, I haven't been sick (although I have had some diarrhea), I haven't started any new medicines. I take warfarin, aspirin, cozaar, and Lyrica.
On the plus side, my cardiology office thinks that home testing might be a good option for me!
Any ideas!!???
