My 84 year old grandfather is awaiting an ambulance with suspected DVT (his doctor came first).
The problem is, he is on Warfarin for strokes, so I thought that prevented DVT?

I hate having a heavy period and when i do, i seem to get these big blood clots! Im only 15 and i was wondering what causes them and is this normal?
