A member asked:

My husband has had 2 episodes of pulminary embolisms, and yesterday his blood tested at 7.4 for inr levels- he's feeling poorly but not bleeding- er?

ER : With an inr that high and not feeling well, you need to take him to the er to be evaluated now. Good luck.

Yes.: He is at risk of serious bleeding. He should be treated with vitamin k and have his urine and stool checked for blood.
