Last September I had a sever PE, there we're multiple blood clots blocking both my lungs. I have been taking warfarin sense then and was recently told to stop taking them for testing which is in 4 days. I have been feeling constantly dizzy and was wondering if that could be from coming off the blood thinners? I went to the er and they said they couldn't find anything...any ideas?

Gosh, have they put you on another anticoagulant such as heparin/ Clexane which will cover you until your test which I presume is an invasive one giving you a risk of bleeding, please check with your anticoagulant clinic or Doctor
Are they testing you for Antiphospholipid syndrome (Hughes syndrome ) as well you will find it on here.
I was just wondering if they felt you might be at risk when stopping your anticoagulants, hope your anticoagulant clinic is aware, sorry if I have worried you its just that I have had some bad experience of Doctors who didn't know what they were doing
be very carefull as to how long you are off, as they did this to my dad then changed his appt making a total of 10 days off and he had a stroke! do not want to scare you but please be very carefull
