A member asked:

Can i workout while on blood thinners?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: On which thinners you are on and what exercise you are doing. Impact exercise while on heavy duty thinners like Coumadin (warfarin) may not be the best idea, but most low impact exercise should be ok provided there is minimal risk of falling.
