Ok now apart from SOB, chest pains,nausea, diarrhoea,mood swings, cold hands/ feet with clumsiness, heavy periods, insomnia - goodness I should never have put that in a list - does anyone else have a gentle rocking sensation?

Since my PE on 10 June I have had a constant low level headache on the back/ right side of my head along with akind of gentle rocking. Not quite dizziness but I def have to be careful about banging into things.

At first I thought it was because of my broken foot and the boot I was wearing making my legs two different heights - but Igot rid ofthat about 2 weeks ago now, and still I feel like I'm on a boat even when sitting. It's not the worse thing by any means - but just odd.

I knw it's a random one - but anyone else have this? I am worried that my clumsiness might mean something else. It's def gentting more pronounced. I have mentioned it to INR cliic nurse but get a bit dismissed

" Hi Beccy - sorry - you sound like you're really going through it at the moment. Just wondering if you could possibly have an ear infection that's making you feel a bit dizzy....just a thought.....? Really hope that you start to feel better soon - love Sandi x "

" Ha Ha you made me laugh SandiG - thanks I needed that.

I bet you are right. Now why couldn't the clinic have suggested that?

How embarrassing - kind of like the time in college when I thought I was bleeding to death, rushed to the doctor - only for him to tell me that your wee will go red, if you have beetroot soup, chocolate & beetroot cake for tea... "

" OK now I am back at work fulltime, and scheduled to come off the warfarin at the end of november. Things are going well - INR a bit erratic butI think thats par for the course for most if us eh?

But this rocking still goes on! Does anyone else have it? I so hope it is a warfarin side effect - so hopefully it will stop when I come off it. It has been 4 months now.

Right now I am calmly sitting on my sofa, but five minutes ago it suddenly felt like side of mount everest, and I was clinging on for grim death. Thankfully we are now back to gentle rocking. Daily I find myself hanging onto walls asthe world upends itself, and trying to carry on sensible conversations and pretend its not happening... "

" I've been on the warfarin for about a month now and have started to have a rocking feeling at times. It's mild, but definitely there. Also been having headaches on my right side only for a while now, even before I was on the warfarin, so don't think they're related. "
