Hi,
I read your query and understand your concern
You have a absolute need for anticoagulant
You can switch from warfarin's to other anticoagulants but still it should be anticoagulants
You can try sintrom or new anticoagulants (xarelto)
Anyway your symptoms aren't related to warfarin's dysfunction
Those are probably related to pacemaker dysfunction
You should be more specific on the symptoms you are suffering so I can be more helpful to you
Hope my answer has helped you
Best regards
