[|Human|] I have recently had a stroke and was diagniased with an atrial afib. I was put on warfarin for a week and then taken off it as it was deemed too risky as i also have a history of nose bleeds. Today I have an inr of 1.3. What does this mean? Do i need to see my gp?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. Basically atrial fibrillation needs control of heart rate and anticoagulants. You INR of 1.3 is a bit on lower side as far as your case is concerned.First you must establish cause of nasal bleed. If there is any local cause, it should be tackled by an ENT surgeon. If it was due to prolonged INR due to warfarin You should restart warfarin with a lower dose and maintain INR around 2.0.for heart rate control you may need beta blockers, my best wishes Chat Doctor.
