I wouldn't hold for 3 days. You'll swing the other way. It would be helpful to know what your dose is.

The most I would hold is 2 days and I am not even sure I would do that. I would probably hold 1 day, take 1/2 dose the next and adjust my weekly dose by 20%.
However, before any of the above, I would require a retest to make sure the test is valid. I always retest if my INR is above 5.0. The other importand thing is to determine just what caused the increase. If you have been steady up to now, there has to be some reason (illness, new meds, etc.) for your INR to rise so much.

I agree with GeeBee. Rule out a bad test by being retested. Bad tests happen.

Chris, there's not any food I can think of that you could eat that would affect your INR that much. If food does affect INR, it's almost always to lower the INR. I wish food raised INR because it would be easier to raise a low INR, which most of us consider harder than lowering a high INR.
I can't help but think that you have something else going on that is causing your INR troubles. Please get a good physical with a good set of blood studies.

Stress can affect INR either way. But it won't do it to the extent to explain your 8.0
