Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that heparin is anticoagulant and should not be taken if the bleeding is continuous, I advice you to take consultation with your doctor and stop the heparin. Heparin has action of thinning the blood.
I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,

Infectious disease specialist.
Wish you a best health at health care magic.
