Hi ,
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern.
Warfarin induces gastritis.
This may cause pain on the left side.
Take some antacids after food for a week.
Take some antiacid medications before breakfast for 10 days.
If the pain still persists go for a checkup.
If you have any further queries you are free to consult me.
Hope this answers your query.
Wishing a speedy recovery.
Do not worry we are there to help you out.
Have a nice day.
