I am not a medical professional, but it sounds like you are dealing with a serious condition, including Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and possibly Pulmonary Embolism (PE). The elevated PT INR levels you're experiencing may indicate that your blood is too thin, which can be risky in managing blood clotting disorders. Typically, doctors prescribe anticoagulants like Acitrom (warfarin) or newer medications like Rivaroxaban (Rivared) to manage blood clotting and reduce the risk of further complications like PE or stroke.
It's important to follow your doctor's guidance closely, as they will monitor your PT INR levels and adjust medication as needed. If you're experiencing issues with your current medication regimen or feel like it's not effective, it’s essential to communicate with your healthcare provider. They may recommend adjustments to the dosage or explore other treatment options. Sometimes, other treatments like low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) or even direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) could be considered based on your condition.
In addition to medication, lifestyle modifications such as regular movement to improve circulation (especially when sitting for long periods), elevating the leg, compression stockings, and maintaining a healthy diet can support recovery. However, any changes to your treatment plan should always be done under your doctor’s supervision to ensure the best outcome for your specific situation.
Please make sure to consult with your healthcare provider about your concerns, as they can offer the most appropriate and personalized advice.

Ah, dealing with DVT can be quite distressing, especially with such fluctuations in INR. I'm sorry to hear about your discomfort. While modern medicines like Acitrom and Rivared are important for managing DVT (and especially if PE is involved), we can still explore ways to support your condition through Ayurveda – consider it an addition to your current treatment, not a replacement.
But first, I gotta stress the importance of following your doctor’s advice, especially since the involvement of PE can make things more riskier.
In Ayurveda, blood flow and clot-related issues might relate to an imbalance in the Pitta or Kapha dosha. So, working on these can help you manage symptoms. Consider Triphala at night—it helps with digestion and cleansing. You can start with 1 teaspoon in warm water before bed. But make sure it's okay with your other medications; checking with doctors is crucial.
For diet, focus on warmth in your meals: avoid cold, heavy foods which might aggravate Kapha. Think lots of cooked veggies, lentils, and whole grains, avoiding too much salt. Ginger tea could become your friend; it enhances circulation and digestion.
In terms of lifestyle, gentle yoga (like legs-up-the-wall pose) may help circulation and lessens stiffness. Avoid sitting/standing too long in one position; move around every few hours if possible. Warm oil massage with sesame oil also can increase circulation and soothe pain but skip on days you're planning to take blood-thinning meds, to prevent possible interactions.
Remember, any changes should seamlessly fit your prescribed treatment plan. Your safety is the top priority. Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are key. Stay in touch with how you feel and communicate that to ensure the best approach to your condition. Hang in there.
