should i stop the Heperin shots for a bit?
I sarted 0.6ml Fraxiparine (Heperin) shots after my procedure (balloon angio) last Thursday.
i used 0.6ml Fraxiparine (Heperin) injections
i havent had any form of bleeding until last night when i slightly itched the inside of my left nostril and i then had a heavy nose bleed,
it lasted 20 minutes, but this could of been because i wasnt acting correctly - i didnt pinch under the bridge i just used tissue to block the nostril.
so after reading online the best way to stop nose bleeds, i pinched under the bridge leaning slightly forward and 5 minutes later the bleeding stopped.
Would it be best to stop the Heperin for a day/few days?
or am i worrying over nothing?
- i am meant to be taking the Heperin shots for 20 days so have 14 more days to go
6days on Heperin and last night had heavy bleeding nose ...

Get a blood test and have your INR levels checked. You might need a lower dose of heparin.dc10 wrote:should i stop the Heperin shots for a bit?

Talk to your surgeon/radiologist
Please talk to the person who prescribed the heparin as soon as possible.
This is not a matter for a chatroom discussion, rather a medical one.

Re: Talk to your surgeon/radiologist
I agree with Mark. Internal bleeding can just as bad as a clot.MarkW wrote:Please talk to the person who prescribed the heparin as soon as possible.

I am not talking little under skin bleeding = bigger bruises. There is a possibility of much more serious internal bleeding - head, chest, cavities, eyes...
Don't mean to scare you and there is a very big chance that you are just fine, but I would not mess with it.
