    That does sound like a question to be asked of your doctor.

    Yes, definitely ask your doctor and check the patient info on your blood thinner for known side effects.

    I am on life long blood thinners. 15+ years so far I've lost 49lbs, hair is thinnner but then I'm 69 years old. See your doctor.

    I spent a year on blood thinners after developing DVT, and that was when I started gaining weight. Partially because I was eating more and partially because I was exercising less. My energy level went in the toilet on Warfarin.

    However, I didn't lose my hair. I would ask a doctor about that.
