Pulmonary Embolism Support Group
By far the most common form of pulmonary embolism is a thromboembolism, which occurs when a blood clot, generally a venous thrombus, becomes dislodged from its site of formation and embolizes to the arterial blood supply of one of the lungs. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, pain during breathing, and more rarely circulatory instability and death.
Stupid thing timed out!
So I'm probably just scaring myself but....
PE 1/9/15 after 12/22 abdominal surgery. Off Xarelto and filter install prior to 3/4/15 abdominal surgery. Having spasms next to my eating stomach. Is this due to clots in filter? Continuation of spasms from yanking my stomach muscles back for surgery? Or because I finally left the house yesterday and overdid it?
Anyone have filter complications?
Thanks

i have never felt my filter or had complications from it, so not sure but since you had abdominal surgery, seems plausible it could be from that alone. I'd call your doctor to get some insight.

It actually resolved itself after I stopped moving around. Must have been my poor muscles.

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
