I have noticed that my gums hurt if my INR is higher than 3.8. One shouldn't feel a difference, but this is one thing I have taken note of with myself.
JohnC, no I have not noticed any changes when INR is either hi or lo. However, I have seldom been very far out of range.....might be different if I got way out of range.

A low INR tends to make my valve very loud. A high one, I cannot tell.

No. Can't tell without a blood test.

Over the years mine has been all the way from 1.9 to 7.1.... did not feel any difference at all.
Absolutely not. I even thought I could guess by the way my finger bleeds after stick - nope - no correlation at all!

Nope, I can not tell the difference.
And don't forget - Nada, Nil, Zilch, etc...
Nope, no change here at all for this one who in on anticoagulation for a-fib. Hubby, who has the valvereplacement for the last 20 years, says the same, "nope, no change here at all." I remember when his INR was 7.5. He did not look any different, feel any different, act any different, seem any different...and on and on. Of course, I thought he might just break apart at any minute....
As I see it, it certainly would be a real, beneficial thing if we could feel it, or know it, or tell it, or.....or.... But, at least in this family, sadly, we can not.

Recently I visited a clinic for a procedure. They asked me if I knew that my INR was was very low. I asked how in the farquart could I know anything about the the INR level that I had. The lab person said that some people feel it in their bones.....Good grief! I can't tell you what I told him because it was very nasty. I don't thing he will he will talk about bones, feeling, and INR again....

Blanche,
The only time you can feel it in your bones is when your blood is really thick...right Ross?

I don't feel things in my bones....I feel them in my heart....and the things I find there are marvelous.

Mmm yeah, did you get a copy of that memo?
I have noticed that when my inr is low, I get more tired. The only way I have come to this conclusion is that if I have been exceptionally tired and have gone for a test it has been low. There have been times when I am on the high side that that I will get a chill that I can't get rid of. Do I know for a fact that the cause is my inr in either case? Absolutely not. Just my observations from how I have felt a few times before I've tested my inr. Whether its been for a day or two before testing.
Nope never.
