I'm not a doctor, but they were giving me way too much Coumadin, and I had internal bleeding, blood in urine, blood in stools, profuse bleeding after a tiny cut, endless coughing and at night I would cough up blood. I woke up one night and I thought that I had to vomit. I didn't make to the toilet but I forced up blood and a foamy substance from my lungs. Then, of course, I was anemic, low potassium and rapid heart pulse. VERY scary. And this was about two months after the hospital.
