Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Support Group
Deep-vein thrombosis, also known as deep-venous thrombosis or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot ("thrombus") in a deep vein. It can be caused by something preventing blood from circulating or clotting normally. Join the support group if you are coping with DVT and find others who are going through the same challenges.
Also, it is usually better to make small changes to your dose when you are out of range. Otherwise, you end up with large swings and it takes forever to get stabilized.
For me, I drop about 1.0 for every day that I hold. If I'm at 3.8, I'll drop to about 2.8 if I hold one day. I've had different docs, PAs, nurses, etc. tell me to hold for two days when my numbers are too high, but a lot of time I'll push back and tell them its too much. My own doc usually knows better, but sometimes she's on vacation or I'm calling after hours and dealing with someone else in the office.
It's unlikely to clot in just a few days without some sort of actual cause during that time (surgery? long plane trip?), so I wouldn't be too worried about that. And, even if you did, they'd just put you on the anticoagulants ... which you're already on. Your INR is solidly therapeutic, so no worries!
