Is It Safe To Ride A Roller Coaster With Several DVTs?
I am 25 and 3 years ago had several DVTs which lead to a saddle embolysm. I had an IVC filter in my vena cava placed during that time. I am still on coumadin. I have recently been checked to see if I have any DVTs and do not. Is it ok for me to ride a roller coaster?

Hi,
You are absolutely normal with drugs, so you can do all activities like normal.
But as you are on drugs preventing thromboembolic events, so with those you have higher risk of prolonged bleeding or internal bleeding with trauma. So you should avoid things that can hurt you.
Regards
