Hi there it has been suggested that I go on warfarin as I am having random episdodes of atrial fibrillation lasting up to 2 hours at a time. GP says it would be less risky of stroke if I was in permanent AF. He wants me to go on warfarin but what if I want to go away on holiday in the UK is that still ok and what other limitations are there on life> I know a stroke would be very limiting but my practice wont prescribe pradaxa as there is a cost issue but he says it is not only that there is more known about warfarin than the other drug. Anyone on here on warfarin or know about it? Also Im only 41 is warfarin not for older people
