I had a tissue valve at age 59, much older than you, but 10 years later it needed replacing again. I chose mechanical ( I was not a candidate for TAVR). Otherwise, I may have needed a third open heart surgery.
My advice is to not go over the required INR. I had bleeding issues so I keep it at the lowest possible number (hard to do but it gets easier)
The vitamin K foods are good for you… just be pretty consistent about how you eat them. I try to eat greens several times a week.
I would check with your Dr about the bleeding.
God bless you and may you continue to heal.
