Could Tingling And Itching In Skin Be Caused By The Side Effect Of Taking Coumadin Tablets?

I have been on coumadin for 4 months. My doctor told me to stop taking it due to heavy menstrual bleeding. He told me to resume my previous 3 mg a day dose when the bleeding stopped. Tonight I woke up with tingly, itchy skin. Could that be related to me stopping the coumadin ?
