<human>: I have been diagnosed with a blood clot in my lower leg, They are going to start me on Warafin Monday, then blood testing starts Wednesday. Should I limit my activities or am I being over cautious? I don t want to over react, but also do not want to under react. Some people go to hospitals when clot is found, is my treatment normal. I am also xeralta for 10 days.
<bot>: Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:1. Heavy contact based activities needs to be avoided. However, you can person all other things. 2. INR is international normalized ratio. It is usually maintained between 2-3 range so that clot formation risk is low. However, bleeding will be slightly more.3. Presence of blood clot in leg or anywhere, is ideal time as next time, it might in brain or heart causing a stroke or myocardial infarction. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
