<s>[INST] I am 73 and have been having routine inr test, which ranges from 2.0 to 2.9 typically. I have been ill with a virus for over a week, but my temperature has been normal for 2 days. I haven t taken my inr during the last week to 10 days. I took it about 15 min ago and it was 5.2. I waited a couple min and retook it. The inr was 4.9. Can I wait and call y cardiologist in the morning or what do you recommend? [/INST] Hi,dearI have gone through your question.I can understand your concern.Your INR value is definitely high. So it increase the bleeding tendency. It can be due to drugs or disease. If you taking drugs like blood thinner then you need to set he dosage. If you are not taking any drugs then you need to consult your treating doctor urgently.Then plan accordingly.Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me.I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. </s>
