I'm a pharmacist. It should be OK. Valerian is used as a sleep aid. Cat Claw is used to boost the immune system. They're not known to interact with the above blood pressure and anti coagulant medications but listen to your body. If you don't feel well, stop and consult a doctor.

Unless there have been studies about the effects of combining the specific medications and remedies, don't even think about it.
Some herbs will either make a medication less effective or more effective, either of which is dangerous. Even some standard vitamins could be contraindicated. In your case, any herbs and vitamins that affect clotting should be avoided.

You need to consult your pharmacist and/or doctor some herbal remedies interact with prescription medications.

You definitely need to ask your doctor and/or pharmacist about that. Some supplements thin your blood and you shouldn't take them while already taking other blood thinners.
