What Is The Connection About The Intake Of Coumadin And Having Weight Loss?

What is the connection about Coumadin and weight loss? I had congestive heart failure, been on Coumadin since the end of June. I've lost 20+ pounds in like three months. I weighed 100 ponds this morning? What do I need to do?
Thank you,

Hello,
Intake of Coumadin doesn't result in any weightloss,however it may cause nausea and loss of appetite which indirectly may cause some weightloss.
You must consult your doctor and explore other reasons for the weightloss as loosing 20+ pounds could be due to some medical reason.
Thanks
