I went to the vascular Surgeon yesterday, my clots are gone. But he has no idea why i got them. Did all the blood test. Said it was up to me if I want to get off thinners. Not sure what to do. Any body else have unprovoked clot and blood work was all normal?
Blood clot gone: I went to the vascular... - Atrial Fibrillati...
Blood clot gone
If you have AF, which I assume you have as you are a forum member, then you will have a higher chance of developing clots because of the turbulence of blood flow caused when in AF. That’s why you are advised to take anticoagulants - to help prevent the clots from forming. There are other reasons of course and sometimes if there are several possibilities doctors are not able to determine which caused what.
May I suggest the you do a search putting ‘blood clots’ in the search box to see if there have been previous threads on the subject.
No AF not sure how i got into this group . Had blood clot
This is a group for people with Atria Fibrillation. There are lots of forums on HealthUnlocked. Do you know which forum you wanted to post on?
If you have AFIB how can you possibly come off blood thinners that puts you in high risk of a massive stroke or heart attack are you prepared to take that risk my father had a massive stroke and it was awfull and l certainly wouldn’t want that
Depends what blood tests they did. Have they tested for Hughes Syndrome/Antiphospholipid/APS .
I presume your bloods included a test for Factor V Leiden, a significant percentage of the population have it without knowing it until a clot develops.....as I found out to my cost 20yrs ago after a long stressful car journey without breaks. You live and learn!
