Light headed

Hi yes I did, still do despite being on Warfarin and INR around 3.5 I take Betahistine it improved, I would question again why you can't have a higher INR, I find that pinching my nose as If to clear my ears stops it if you do it soon enough,it can be caused by a lot of things I would go back to your GP

Hi Wendy and welcome

You could ask to try having a higher INR to see how that affects your symptoms. When I was on Warfarin (I'm now on Fragmin), I needed an INR around 4.0 to keep my symptoms under control.

I have suffered from 'funny turns', momentary sense of being pushed, or the floor bouncing, and Prof Hughes sent me to see Peter Savundra, a Consultant Audiovestibular Physician at The Portland Hospital in London. Peter explained about ischemia of the ears causing these symptoms in APS. I was moved from Warfarin to Frgamin by Prof Hughes to alleviate these and other symptoms.

Best wishes.

Thanks everyone it's good to know it's not just me. Been a member here for years and I may not post much but read everything 😁

I get light headed and dizzy like this all the time. I thought it was from my blood pressure medication, so I had my dr lower the dose, and it still is happening. I will have to ask him again about this.

I think it best if you ask for a review of your INR, as suggested by my co administrators, please let us know how it goes. MaryF

Are you on plaquinil/ Hydroxychloroquine?

I stopped taking plaquinil as it made me horribly ill - the reviewed my INR and no change - I have found that if I eat a bit more salt in my food it doesn't happen so I have upped my salt intake slightly.
