I had the same operation Aortic valve replacement on 1st March. Came thro Op fine but oh the hassle over HBP. It has been high systolic for 16 years between 190+ & 280 they always freak out. So when they took it at 209 pumped me full of meds and got it down to 160, came home next morning so weak couldn't stand and passed out so Dr did a call out. Saw cardiologist few weeks later. He was frustrated and angry I had not taken the blood thinners, more or less said I had dodged a bullet. Told him I was taking Dr Mercola Lumbokinase or Nattokinase & Serrapeptase every day but to no avail as he of course doesn't really know about them. But I am fine on those take Drs one night and 2 Nat + 1 Serr the next night usually when I wake up for the loo. I do avoid the worst 'food' of all and that is oils of any kind or foods with vegetable fats listed, eat only Organic coconut oil, heaps, Olive oil and flaxseed oil. If I am going to get caught out eating worst oils like eating out or at friends I pop a couple of Sunflower lecithin capsules to hopefully keep the oils/fats in suspension so they won't adhere. Well that is what I do so best of luck, I am 81 and perfectly happy to take responsibility over my own health after reading side effects of drugs offered.Replied by Debra (NSW, Australia) on 11/16/2021
My mother was put on baby Aspirin and ended up with a 24 centermeter ulcer and internal bleeding, never allowed to touch another anti-inflammatory. Good for you searching for natural options. I have blood thickening issues, possibly due to Atrial Fibrillation so I've been using natural blood thinners for years. I find Proteolytic Enzymes help me although I have done Serrapeptasse, Natto and Seaprose-S which all help. I'm still taking Mega Zyme and Gluten Defense enzymes which really help. I recently started Vitamin D3 at 5000IU a day but this pulls calcium into the blood which causes it to thicken too if you don't get enough Vitamin K2 with it which pushes the calcium into the bones where you need it. I now have to take 200mcgs Vitamin K2 a day for the 5000IU of Vitamin D so you may find this could be thickening your blood too. I am also EMF sensitive. EMF's from wireless tech, causes red blood cells to Rouleaux (stick together so they can't move) so you're not getting oxygen through the body. Things like barefoot walking and grounding help loosen the cells so they can move again but just wanted to make you aware that tech also thickens blood.
