i have had dvt 15 years ago, p.e. 5 years ago and am on warfarin. no other events. i have depression and anxiety controlled to a degree with valium. i had an episode of 30 seconds of dizzy eyes last week. since then i feel a bit strange but no recurrence. my sleep has been a bit erratic but i am not sure if im just suffering from health anxiety. i have no symptoms to show a dr but worry i may have tia but have been told its unusual on warfarin for that. anyone compare?

    it is very unusual when on any blood thinning medication to experience a TIA. health anxiety or not i certainly would recommend seeing a doctor. the fact you say you have no physical symptoms to show a doctor does not mean you have no symptoms, as a doctor there are certainly things you mention that I personally would want to examine further. like dizzy eyes and now you feel weird, you're not feeling like you should so SOMETHING is wrong, it might be nothing but you're not feeling as you should so get it checked out. Your body is saying this isn't right and your brain is saying i can't SEE anything wrong, trust your body it knows if there's a problem.

    it doesn't sound like TIA but go see a doctor and get sorted.
