| 2 | Atrial fibrillation | Blood in urine | I have had Afib for about 18 years but it has become more prevalant the last 3 months, so my cardiologist put me on coumadin 5 mg daily. I am fairly fit and run 50 miles a week and eat a healthy diet. After 2 days on the medication, my urine changed from slightly yellow to the color of mud. It returned to normal after discontinuing the drug, 2 days later. My cardiologist claims this cannot be related to coumadin in such a short time and I just started another regimen yesterday. I seriously have my doubts, since I have never had this problem in 65 years, and all my regular medical checkups have been excellent. | M | 65 | 5mg. 1X D | 3/9/2010 | |
