I just got home from a three day stay in the Hospital.
To all you Old Farts like me that have High Blood Pressure (as I do) and use Coumindin (Blood Thinner).
Be aware of taking Antibiotics that may conflict with the Coumindin.
After taking a Antibiotic prescription for a few days I started Bleeding.
As you know you must keep your Coumindin level between 2 and 3, Never more than 3.
After stopping the Coumindin and checking my level, the first day it was 6.3.
The next day it was 13.3 (this is stroke time or worse).
After a very painful stint in the Emergency Room and a Injection of Vitamin K and 2 units of Blood Plasma, things have started to get back to normal.
I wanted you old guys to be aware of this (Antibiotic conflict), It is not a lot of fun.
