High Factor VIII (8) Blood Clotting Disorder and its Impacts on life

I have factor viii levels that are elevated (291) but Ive never had any clots so it’s scary to know I am a high risk. I’m on aspirin a day due to basilar artery moderate blockage so is aspirin enough? I see a hematologist soon.

It would be hard for us to answer that question. Sometimes they wait on having you take another med if you haven't had a clot. That said, you're factor VIII is definitely elevated enough to where my hematologist would want to check things out to make sure that you're safe. We'll be interested in what your hematologist has to say about it,

I would be curious to see what your hematologist says. I have yet to get into mine and only get messages that haven’t really addressed my questions so I’m going to find another one in my area. Good luck!
