Hi,

I've been on Warfarin and a Beta Blocker for 14 years. I have felt the same coldness BUT I blame the Beta Blocker, not Warfarin.

I’m not on beta blockers anymore …. But only noticed since switching to warfarin

I wonder how long ago you stopped BB's ? and how long you'd been on them. As it happens I'm still on both.

Yes, l certainly do Mrsd. I don’t take bets-blockers only as pip.

I felt cold and blamed my Warfarin, then it was discovered that I had an underactive thyroid. Medication to right that took the coldness away. Have you had your thyroid function checked recently?

My husband and I are both on Apixaban and feel the cold far more than we used to. My hands and feet are cold most days, only when the sun is out and the temperature is high might make me feel a bit warmer.

I have been temporarily on warfarin for the past 6 months for an ablation and when I think about it, I too have felt the cold more and at night. I can’t sleep if I’m cold and I have actually been getting extra throws to go on top, when my husband is feeling too warm 😳 so yes, I think it’s possible.
