Question: I take 5 mg of warfarin once a day since being hospitalized for congestive heart failure, blood clots in my left lung and in my left leg and 20 pounds of fluid in my body, that's what the doctor said .. I went to the emergency room the end of march because I thought I had pneumonia and was not getting better. I had been sick since December 2014 and I stopped smoking in January 2015 because I had trouble breathing. My legs and feet became swollen so my husband took me to the hospital. After examining me I passed out and they had to incubate me and they gave me that drug that XXXXXXX XXXXXXX died from and after two days I came out of it and was in the intensive care unit. After 8 days in the hospital they sent me home and put me on warfarin and a water pill, also oxygen to use at home and Advair inhaler. I have noticed that my hair is coming out ALOT, I have to clean the hair out of it 2 to 3 times each time I brush it. I would like to know if warfarin affects the thyroid gland ?
