Hello All,
Hope everyone is doing well!! :)
Well anyway I've been having throat problems sense August 3weeks after I had my shingles. The doctor gave me Omeprazole pill to take and I also changed my diet. Still having discomfort so my Doctor suggested I have a Endoscopy procedure next week. I'm very nervous because I'm on Coumadin pills but 6 days before I have to stop taking Coumadin and take LOVENOX injection for a couple of days..
Have anyone been in this situation before, having a procedure done and on Coumadin???
