... taking this drug two weeks ago. She is 93 years old and never had a heart problem before. She is now in afib. Dr says she has tiny blood clots in the lower chamber of her heart. She is being given coumadin to address this issue. She was already short of breath. Now, I'm really concerned about this cough. Dr listened to her lungs on Fri and said they were clear.
Can coumadin cause excessive coughing? My mom has developed excessive coughing since she began?
