If you are not on warfarin then this is fine. Why did you have it tested?

If you are not on warfarin or getting bleeding problems, I don't know why the test should be done.

If you have angina, then you would normally be on aspirin or similar

Until I had AF and was on warfarin, I couldn't have told you what 'INR' was. Why on earth did you have a test for INR???

I guess they did the test because of my dangerous high blood pressure small blockage and something with aorta

This doesn't sound like a reason; more likely someone just ticked all the boxes on the test form
