Hi All,

Have any of you experienced symptoms after discontinuing Heparin with long term use?

I have experienced edema in my upper and lower extremities, "heavy" chest, sore throat/ larnyx.

I was on Heparin this time for a year.

Thanks,

Bug

I was on it for a year and a half and had to stop as my blood was getting too thin.

I never had any side affects from quitting.

My "side effects" were more pain and fatigue and more brain fog....all the things that heparin HELPED me with!

Are you on supplements now?? Like enzymes?? Buluoke or nattokinase or Rutozyme, serrapeptase, bromelain?? Those do the same thing as heparin.
