An INR of 1.75 is below the typical target of 2.5-3.0 for someone with prior DVT and cardiac events, so your warfarin dose may need adjustment. Minor oral bleeding can occur with warfarin but should be discussed with your doctor promptly, as it may indicate over-anticoagulation or the need for careful monitoring before changing the dose.
