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.

Sorry its been a while since I've posted. I've been trying to figure out some lingering issues since my PE in March of 2013, like SOB (from heart or lungs - docs aren't sure yet (or something else?)). I've hopefully just had my last tests for awhile, but don't have all the results yet.

I'm actually posting because I heard of the following fat burning supplement from the Dr. Oz show, garcinia cambogia. I was wondering if any of you know much about it and if its safe with Warfarin.
Thanks!

Here's a link I found where this question was posed. http://www.justanswer.com/medical/7lmjy-does-garcinia-cambogia-interact-warfarin-vimpat.html

WebMD doesn't mention an interaction:
I think supplements are tricky because there just may not be enough documented on their interactions.

The company website has a top for coumadin interactions but doesn't really say anything meaningful:

Just my own opinion of course, but I can't believe as a medical doctor he recommends half the stuff he does. But that's just me. Plus, I'm kind of skeptical of anything that promises weight loss.

Garcinia cambogia is advertised as an appetite suppressant.

If I could suppress my appetite I'd lose weight--- garcinia cambogia or no garcinia cambogia.

Thank you for your replies and the link. I wouldn't start anything unless my doc approved it. I could always try the pushaway diet; just have one serving and push away from the table :-)

I have personally tried garcinia cambogia and I think it is working the way I am expecting things to happen. By the way, I am incorporating it to my current diet which is more on protein rich foods and avoiding carbohydrates as much as possible. I am not saying that it would perfectly work for everybody. But regarding , I haven't personally taken it, so I suggest you might like to ask people who knows better about garcinia cambogia. I believe they can help you with this inquiries , since they have this very good customer service. This is where I get my bottles of garcinia cambogia http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CMHTYWY, and I am currently on my second bottle with 15lbs lost weight. Good luck!

    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.
