Any advice please

Have a good day

I’m sorry your brother s unwell. We cannot offer medical advice here - this is a forum for people who have cardiovascular problems or care for those who do, and we might have some hints and tips as to where to seek advice. As your brother is apparently being treated I don’t think there’s any more we can say.

Other posters might have some ideas.

what is his target range, when was last time he was tested.

6.9 seems awfully out of range(mine should be 2-3. Checked every 6 weeks at most.

Usually 2-3. Every 4 weeks. Been on it for years. Allowed home tonight, return Friday for bloods. Thanks

That does sound very odd. I bet he felt awfully cold, thinners bring blood temp down , I guess he is on warfarin. 4 week intervals sound normal for that.
