alcohol?

[joy]

Does anybody know if it's safe to drink after you have a valve replaced? I went out for my birhtday, and had a couple of margaritas, but I haven't really been feeling too well for about a month. I go to the doctor on monday, and am going to have him do a throat culture. I hope it isn't strep or I am going to request that they take out my tonsils. I have had enough with the strep throat! Well, Take it easy.

Hi Joy,

There has been many discussions on here regarding alcohol and Coumadin. Here is a link to the thread.

I am sure there are more as well, just try doing a "search".


Hope you get your sore throat fixed soon.

Happy Holidays,

Rob

It is safe to drink responsibly when you have a biological valve.
