Could Intermittent Loss Of Vision Be Due To Warfarin?
After a mitral valve replacement I have been on warfarin fot the past 15 weeks. Since then I have had 7 or 8 episodes during which I have lost either complete or partial sight in my right eye. The episodes last between 2 and 7 minutes. The carotid arteries have been checked and they appear to be OK and my eyes have also been checked and nothing untoward has been found. Do you think I should still be on Warfarin? or would other some other blood thinner be more appropriate? I am also taking sotolil and furosemide.
