Rocky, I wouldn't keep chasing that INR around....4.2 is fine for one test, then check it again next week and just
enjoy more veggies in the meantime.
A couple of weeks back I tested at 3.9 and I stayed on the same dose, had a couple of extra salads, and
tested this week and got 3.1
Whenever patients mention "roller coaster" ride, it seems to be whenever the patient tries to "chase" the INR.
Don't fall into that trap. Relax, munch on some greens and test a week later.
INR is not an exact science, there is wiggle room for a reason.
