Lightheadedness And Dizziness With Taking Coumadin
(Newest replies first)

Has anyone else gotten Lightheadedness and dizziness from Coumadin. I have been told this doesn't happen and I would be the first. My Coumadin therapist has never heard this. I don't believe that

REPORT

My mother is 87 and has been on Coumadin for almost 2 and s half years, she is dizzy every morning since she started it, they adjust her meds but doesn’t seem to work, she has fell twice since then, and with the second time, she fractured her pelvis and has to be in a nursing home, well now her fractured pelvis is healed, but they won’t let her go home because of the dizziness, my dad is going to ask her dr if she can get a cat scan to rule anything else out. Frustrating, my mom just wants to go home!

I have been on it 3 weeks and I have had some shortness of breath plus dizzy and even passed out. I think it effects each individual differently. I am not too happy how I feel.

I find it hard to believe your therapist too, since there are a good number of webpages listing: headache, dizziness, weakness, fainting, nausea, and even flu-like symptoms as side effects of Coumadin (warfarin). All your therapist had to do was google "Coumadin side effects" and he would've known this to be the case.

Here's one of many side-effect listings that show what symptoms you're describing:

I have to wonder if he's really lying or simply doesn't know how to use the internet. In any case, I hope this helps!
