   After being admitted three time into hospital with AF/High blood pressure/ underactive thyrode/I was put on to Warfarin and my INR rate should be between 2/3, which it never seems to reach. My last results were only 1.9. Has anyone else had this same problem and dose the mean that I am still at a high risk of a heart attack or a stroke?

   I am worried about cutting myself/ nose bleeds :? .

   If you are waitihng for cardioversion like me you should have your Warfarin increased (see a coag Nurse). Avoiding foods with vit K helps as Vit K helps the blood coagulate and you are looking for a thinning effect (i.e. the reverse) to prevent a stroke
