I also take blood thinners and thought I knew about what you should/shouldn't do, but this article mentions dizziness which I get sometimes for a couple of days at a time. Maybe these are the cause  |

Interesting to read.
I've never been on a blood thinner.
But I had a coworker comment on how much salad and leafy greens that I ate.
He explained about his blood thinning medicine
and said his doctor advised if he had times where he ate a lot more greens
the doctor would need to up his dose.
I was so surprised and said to Eric,
"I didn't realize there would ever be a situation
where leafy, green vegetables might be bad for your health."
Good tips.

Kerri they are good tips leafy greens are amazingly good for our body.
Spice I have too and was pleased when I read avocados have a lot of vitamin K as I eat a lot of them.

I was on Warfarin for a year after having a pulmonary embolism. I remember having to avoid eating dark leafy vegetables. I worried about injuring myself because bleeding could be a huge problem with reduced ability to clot. I was also getting Heparin shots in the stomach for two weeks before being discharged from the hospital. The bruising was really bad, my stomach looked like a rotten banana.

Foxy isn't that amazing you couldn't eat leafy vegies.
I hope all is okay with you now.

Kerri - that must be why I almost never eat salads ...  Seriously, I didn't know that and it's a good thing to know for those of us on blood thinners.

I don't take these but know of others who do. I know they are careful, extra careful even, in not getting cut as they can bleed more.
