Unusual symtoms, please help

[michelleric]

Hi, Here is a quick history and then my new symptoms. I have gastric bypass surgery 2 + years ago, lost 145 pounds and maintaining. I had 2 blood clots after surgery, and was put on coumadin. I need to be on coumadin for life, due to many factors with blood issues. (factor 5, lupus anti. and others). I have a long standing history of migraines also.

Here is the new situation. 2 weeks ago, I had a severe headache, lasted about 3 days, and lost half of my vision for about an hour (migraine aura). BUT, the strange thing was, my left arm was tingling and numb. Well it is almost 2 weeks later, no headache, but my arm is still tingly and numb. I continue to get some strange vision loss, mainly out of my left eye at times. I am very light headed, dizzy and now my leg is starting to feel tingling also. Same side as the arm, as well as parts of my left face. I went to the ER 1 week ago, had Catscan, MRI and MRA. All normal, except for some area that the dye was heavy in. I have an appt this Monday with my PCP. However, my blood count, I/R was 3.0 at the ER last week, and today is was 4.0, even after lowering the dose this week. The coumadin nurse called, and asked what was going on. I told her, and she said go to the ER. I cant go because I am home with my 5 kids and husband not home until tomorrow.
Any thoughts about this??
THanks!
