vertibral artery dissection
by samvad, Apr 04, 2009 01:15AM
I was diagnosed with a left vertibral artery dissection two months ago. I had a recent MRI/MRA and it showed that the artery is still completely occluded. My neurologist has said that I could go from coumadin to plavix now. I am concerned that it seems that most people are treated with the coumadin for three to six months. Will I be protected as well with Plavix? I have numbness down the right side of my body and numbness on the left side of my face. I have some affect on balance and coordination. Although I have been difficult to regulate dosage on coumadin, I have not had any adverse side effects or excessive bleeding.
Should I stay on coumadin for at least another month? I am only two months into this.
Thank you!
