Having had a heart attack earlier this year I’m on a lot of pills. This is good but being on 2 blood thinners in this freezing weather is very trying ! I have painful icy sensations on my back and upper arms especially in bed. Needless to say I am wearing extra clothes etc. Anyone in this position and any advice welcome please.

I would talk to a pharmacist or go back to your doctor if possible. My DH had a bypass surgery seven years ago and had to have his medication adjusted a few times. He tends to have those odd reactions that are noted, some people never do. Your doctor may end up changing medications.
