Sintrom Dosage

I am 74 years old. I am using Sin trom about 2 years, after implementation of the Pacemaker due to arithima absoluta.
I have difficulties to maintain recomennded level of INR, between 2 and 3. During those 2 years I had tried with different dosage schedulle - changing dosage from 1 - 2 mg per day. For example: 2-2-2-1; 2-2-2-2-1; 2-1-2-1-2 etc. I have measured INR regularly at home with CoaguChek Roshe apparatus, or in professional labs, every week or more frequently depending on the oscilation of INR. Up to now I did not succseded to find proper dosage which can maintain INR in the range 2-3, nor can find reason for so unexpected oscilations in INR. No new medications, or life style changes have happened during this period.

I am 74 and do not normally have a problem with the Sintrom dosage but today I think I took a double dose. What effect will this have on the INR which was checked today and was 3.0. My next appointment is in 4 weeks.
