What Causes Bleeding In Eye While On Coumadin?

Question: I am on coumadin and just noticed my eye is bleeding (inside). Should I go to the ER?
Brief Answer:
yes you should
Detailed Answer:
Hi there , welcome to HCM.
Thanks for your query.
Bleeding while on coumadin is a serious issue. At least an INR estimation should be done urgently and if required, the effect of Coumadin reversed by vitamin k .
So you should visit the emergency at the earliest.
Hope this helps.

Thank you. The ER doctor checked my INR 2.0 which is low for me. He wants me to follow up with my primary care.
Brief Answer:
okay this gives reassurance
Detailed Answer:
This INR is not too high but still we need to be very careful regarding bleeding. Bleeding can be a manifestation at this INR in some patients. so another episode of bleed may necessitate change of medicine.
