A member asked:
My inr is 0.94 but my md isn't concerned. i bruise easily, should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
INR is fine: A value of 0.94 is not meaningfully different from 1.0, the so-called normal value. If you are overweight, losing weight may help. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
