Headaches on one side of head

I’m taking warfarin for a DVT & a PE on my Lung, I’ve been getting Headaches on the right side of my head! Very painful the last one went on 4 days! Not there all the time though, yesterday I also had a strange feeling bit painful when I was walking in my right leg which is the one with the DVT in, has anyone else had things like this please? I did mention the headache to my Doctor who sent me to have my eyes looked at, I ended up getting new glasses so it’s definitely not that. Thanks everyone.

I've experienced the same pain on the left side of my skull, sometimes I will wake with it. The first time I experienced it, my doctor sent me straight into hospital to check for a bleed.

Happy to say I did not have a bleed but it is concerning when every now and again I experience this pain and in conjunction with this my INR level is usually elevated.

I could go back to your GP if only to reassure you
