How long have you had your on X? I’m not a real big wine guy but I love my bourbon 🥃. How much can I drink? I may on the weekend drink 4 to 6 oz mixed or straight. Will this be a problem ? Thanks

No I take singular and a inhaler called qvar +a emergency inhaler. I also take Nasonex for nasal.

Okay guys I have another question about taking warfarin. What do you do when you get sick? Looks to me like everything is off the list to take. Can you take any otc medicine or do you have to run to the doctors office? I see also antibiotics is another no-no. What do doctors prescribe for...

The main reason I don’t want them to find any is because I have a colonoscopy scheduled for about 2 weeks after cath. If they put a stent in then I can’t have my yearly colonoscopy on time which I have to have before AVR because of my lynch syndrome

People are saying antibiotics and otc cold medicine do play well with warfarin. Is that a big problem?

They are going through my wrist as far I know.

Thank you . You all have been a wealth of knowledge. I’ll see my cardiac surgeon on the 8th of January and I’m going to arm myself with all this information and make sure he explains it to me the way you have. Thanks again.

Thank you

Thank you

Thanks , my cardiologist says he would not bridge me for my yearly colonoscopy. He stated that bridging is sometimes worse and could cause more bleeding problems than just getting off warfarin for the procedure then back on afterwards. It’s still a scary thing for me. I’m having a very hard...

Thanks for all the information, but a lot of you are confusing me. With the on x valve would a lower inr be safe? They “on X” say their design and polycarbonate pieces Reduce the formation in clots? If this is truly newer technology then why not lower your inr with this valve only. I’m still...

Hi everyone, having my first angioplasty/ angiogram on Friday the 20th. Not sure what to expect. My cardiac surgeon has said it’s more of a precautionary thing to make sure there are no surprises when they open me up for avr. I’m still very anxious and worried they will find a clogged artery. I...

Thank you.

My cardiologist said in Europe they only take An aspirin a day with an on X valve and are not required to take warfarin. I believe that’s what he said anyway. A lot was said and I’m still sifting through everything in my mind.

Do you have an on x valve? Sorry you had a stroke and glad you are doing well.

Do you continue to be in that same range? Or was that a temporary range?

What are the risks. I don’t understand INR . Why would a low INR cause a stroke? I’m trying to learn and really appreciate all of your advice. This is happening so fast and I’m trying to make the right decisions and be as informed as I can be.

Thanks everyone for all the great advice. I thought with the on X valve that your INR would be more in 1.5 to 2.0 range. It seems that all of you are more in the 2 to 3 range. Why all the literature and ad campaigns touting a lower INR if nobody is in those ranges??

Thanks

How loud is the clicking? I am most probably going with the on x as well. What level do you keep your inr?
