Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You should go for complete coagulation profile. You should also check INR. If you are taking warferrin for your ischemic heart disease then it also causes increased in INR and ultimately high chance of bleeding. You should regularly check your INR level.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
