BTW warfin is a blood thinner that requires constant testing though blood work which means your veins get scared and tough to poke.
No drugs except one aspirin daily.
No AFib
There is a new machine that you can use in your home for finger pricks to measure INR. Medicare may pay for it, if you are eligible. My Cardio used it in his office to use it, and saved a needle in the arm. No lab - immediate results.
