You really need to ask your doctor ASAP about this. I would think not, but am unsure. Speak to your doctor as soon as you can reach him/her. Good luck, let us know. Now I’m curious. Do you have “sticky blood”/ Hughes?
To me this needs a specialist consult -like yesterday! If the bleed is active, even more so.

Im afraid thats an urgent question for your doctor?
Who adjusted your warfarin to reduce your INR from 6 to 2.7 & ordered the CT scan?
The bleed is the priority now.
Time for the ER.

You need to be in hospital having this sorted, with somebody who fully understands not only INR and your medication but Hughes Syndrome/APS. We can't guide on your medication, not being medically trained etc, we can only advise you to seek the correct care and listen to the experiences of others on here. Please let us know how you are.

Hi,
I agree with the others you need URGENT HELP and also a talk with your Specialist. I wonder like Holly who ordered the CT-Scan and adjusted your Warfarin from 6.0 to 2.7?

It is important to prioritize your needs. As my Grandfather told me: “You deal with the wolf at your throat before the wolf at the door.” A brain bleed must be addressed ASAP!

Why are you not in hospital?
If you feel worse today, call an ambulance. Tomorrow, see your doctor and insist you are hospitalised until this bleed has been stopped. In fact, if you have the phone number of your specialist, phone that doctor and insist you are admitted to hospital.
Your specialist needs to explain to you what is necessary and you should not be left alone!
I don't want to increase your anxiety but please contact your doctor immediately.
Wishing you well.
