What Does This INR Reading Indicate?

My cardiologist recommends my INR to be over 3. Every where I have read says between 2 and 3 are normal. They keep upping my dose of warfarin and I am more afraid ot this hemmoraging than a blood clot. How much warfarin is too much?????? I don t have money for this, I am limited income, and it said free questions.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
INR normal level is one. If you have chance of clotting then you should take warferrin and you should maintain your INR between 2 to 3. If iNR goes above three then chances of haemorrhage is increased. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
