Coumadin And Dvt

About two months ago I broke three metatarsal in my right foot. I have been using a scooter and non weight bearing since. Early on, day 8 I had what felt like a Charlie horse that wouldn't go away. Went in and found a blood clot in my calf, a DVT. Since then I have been on Coumadin. I first went a few times a week to be checked and now once a week. I eat the same thing and have specifically avoiding drinking and foods high in vitamin K. My current INR is 3.7 and I know that is high. It has been higher previously and want to make sure I am not having internal bleeding or some other side effect. Currently I am experiencing headaches (not the worst in life, but constant), mild dizziness, general lack of energy and past few nights slept foe 10+hours. I don't want to go to the ER if it isn't a huge deal. Anyone else experience headaches, this feeling etc!? Suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Those can be normal side effects of this medication, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience easy bruising.

However, given your medical history, it would be best to have it checked out by your doctor to be safe.

Is there anything else I can help with?
