Ive been on blood thinners for the last week after I had knee surgery. (Tinzaparin). I've had flu like symptoms all week. Dizziness, light headedness, bleeding gums, nose bleeds, fatigue, muscle weakness and shortness of breath. Ive been told to take them for 3 weeks, but I'm stopping them for the next few days to see if my symptoms go away because I can't continue like this.
It's crucial to consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen, especially blood thinners, to ensure your safety and proper management of your symptoms. ❤️
The use of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) alongside blood thinners should be approached with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare professional. CoQ10 is a supplement that some people take for various health reasons, but it may interact with certain blood thinners, such as warfarin. CoQ10 can potentially decrease the effectiveness of warfarin, leading to changes in the International Normalized Ratio (INR), a measure of blood clotting time. It's crucial to inform your healthcare provider about all supplements and medications you are taking to ensure they can assess potential interactions and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. They will monitor your blood clotting parameters and make any necessary adjustments to maintain the therapeutic effectiveness of blood thinners while minimizing risks.
Hello thank you for the information I have a question please I have protein C deficiency And my doctor prescribe for warfarin Do you think it’s possible to switch to aspirin instead Thanks 🙏
I don't sleep well and usually end up feeling like I was dragged behind a car. Ivr been taking 4 ibuprofen to get me through the day. The regular dose never does anything for me.
It's important to address the root cause of your sleep issues rather than relying on high doses of ibuprofen; please consult a healthcare professional for a tailored solution. ❤️
@@MedicalCentric i had a sleep apnea test and didnt have it. i woke up alot through out the night and they said i would need medecine for it. things like unisom dont really help either. taking it leaves me with a sleeping pill hang over.
In a world of veins where lifeblood flows, A tale unfolds of ignorance that grows. Viscosity, the measure of blood's might, Ignored by some in the medical light. No tests to gauge the thickness, the flow, Yet blood thinners like a reckless wind do blow. Into the veins of elders, frail and wise, A gamble played, a dangerous surprise. Rat poison disguised, a misguided cure, Forgetting that each body's a canvas pure. One size, they say, fits all in the game, But in the elderly, it's not the same. Thin blood, like rivers, too much to bear, A one-size potion, a cross to bear. Plasma dominates, a watery reign, Yet the remedy given is not humane. Oh, the folly of this medical decree, Administered without a true decree. For in the elderly, a nuanced dance, A delicate balance, a fleeting chance. Let's shed a light on this foolish scheme, Where wisdom falters, and dangers teem. For in the veins of our elders so dear, A tailored touch is what they need to steer. To understand the blood's viscosity, A science crucial for longevity. No more willy-nilly, no reckless play, Let knowledge guide in a careful way. In the rhythm of life, let wisdom play its part, A melody composed with a healing heart. For in the veins of the elderly so grand, A symphony of health, a gentle hand.
I got prescribed blood thinners, even though I got the prescription filled. I decided not to take them. Because I’ll just do it naturally through vitamins and foods. It’s funny when doctors prescribe a medicine, then tell you not to take certain vitamins and or tell you not to eat certain foods. Why is that? It’s because those vitamins and foods do the same thing and is a lot cheaper.
@Robowx It's understandable to want to explore natural options, but it's important to be cautious when managing conditions that require blood thinners. Doctors often prescribe these medications because they’re proven to reduce the risk of dangerous blood clots in a controlled and precise way. Certain vitamins and foods, like Vitamin K and leafy greens, can interact with blood thinners or affect their effectiveness, which is why doctors give dietary advice. Natural alternatives can support health, but they may not work as effectively or predictably as prescribed medication. It’s a good idea to discuss any natural approaches with your doctor to ensure you're safe.
@jwpiranesi It sounds like you're making a playful reference! While "blood thinners" are important for preventing clots, they do need to be taken with care, especially when managing other parts of your health. And as for "my cabbages!"-I can’t help but smile at the "Avatar: The Last Airbender" reference! Keep things light and balanced! 😄
