In reply to the discussion: I lost my Mom two weeks ago. She passed away suddenly [View all]livetohike
(23,555 posts)35. I'm so sorry for the loss of your Mom GWC58. My Mom
was also on Coumadin since having two mini strokes several years ago. It was always a fear she would fall and hit her head.
She fell twice in one week this past June and didn't think she hit her head. The tests came back negative for a brain bleed. We declined an autopsy, so we aren't sure of the exact cause of death. Since she died alone at home, her PCP wrote the death certificate as "heart disease". Meanwhile she never had a heart attack or stent or pacemaker!
