Question 1

is there anything that can be done for micro clotting in the ear vessles?  i am on blood thinners.

Accepted Answer

Micro-clotting: So why do you think you have micro-clots? A clot would cause cessation of blood flow and necrosis of tissue. What you might be seeing is some skin discoloration?

Question 2

is it common to be on a blood thinner with a low white blood count, high cardiolipin igg and a positive ana? or is aspirin just as good for blood clotting issue?

Accepted Answer

: I have no idea what blood clotting issue means. There are many and you need to discuss with the Dr who is treating you.

Question 3

fish oil is a blood thinner that doesn't help broken eye vessels. is carrot juice also a blood thinner that doesn't help broken eye vessels to heal?

Accepted Answer

Neither do: Fish oil does prolong bleeding time but not significantly, unless used in high doses usually combined with other anticoagulants like aspirin. Carrot juice, a good source of beta carotene, insignificantly affects bleeding time. Now, your broken eye vessels would not be expected to heal faster with the above, but may slightly increase bruising occurrence, particularly with subconjunctival hemorrhage

Question 4

had a fall yesterday & on blood thinner. did not hit my head i went down & fell onto my leg and behind, my hands caught a rail & took some impact. do i have any concerns being on thinners & my leg being in so much pain? or more so if you hit yourhead?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, deep bleeding with the formation of a hematoma is relatively common in such situations, not to mention pelvic fractures, always possible. Would suggest being timely examined ( either your doc or an urgent care office) for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question 5

is it okay to take motrin for relief from head trauma? i've heard that it can be called a blood thinner and those can increase bleeding in the brain.

Accepted Answer

Yes: but usually not a problem.

Do not worry and check with your doc.

No reason to wait.

Good luck.

Question 6

blood thinners prevent the formation of new clots, to allow the bodies anti-clotting mechanisms to break down actual clot more effectively. correct?

Accepted Answer

Close enough: So called blood thinner prevent formation of new clots, but do not accelerate the breakdown of existing clots. There are other medications for that, i.e.., thrombolytic medications.

Question 7

my dad started bleeding from ear a lot and is dizzy. could this be a result of the blood thinners he is taking?

Accepted Answer

Need eval: He should go to see a doctor and to check his inr. If his inr is high then blood thinner should be adjusted- perhaps it needs to be held and dose should be lowered etc. Also, importantly, his ear has to be examined to make sure there is no trauma etc.

Question 8

should i be worried about using kratom and receiving the j&j vaccine a day before it's usage was paused to investigate a rare blood clotting disorder that can not be treated with traditional blood thinners? kratom has blood thinning properties?

Accepted Answer

: You definitely should be worried about using Kratom that was deemed unsafe and ineffective as it affects the central nervous system, check mayoclinic.org. Not as much about the vaccine, you did the right thing, the combination of the 2 of them hard to predict. Think of stopping spending your money on unsafe substances.

Question 9

how long do i need to be off of blood thinners before testing for clotting disorders?

Accepted Answer

: Depends on the blood thinner. Pl ask the MD who is treating you  for he/she knows all the meds you take.

Question 10

im in blood thinners 15 mg a day, xareltro. i accidentally stood up in my camper and im taller then the area where the table sits at. i hit my head, should i be concerned, i mean obviously it hurts a little but nothing else is happening?

Accepted Answer

: It is certainly a situation where you should observe some caution. You are at higher risk of having bleeding that could happen in your head and not realize it. Certainly if you notice any neurologic events or any difficulty at all, you need to be seen immediately. You should probably have someone with you for the next 24 to 48 hours. Seek medical attention immediately if needed. Good luck.
