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.
I've been told that I'll have good days and bad days after my 2 episodes of pe... 1 January 1 February... because as I was doing great, like I didn't even have it. Then yesterday my chest started hurting *not like pe pain because this pain is all over my chest* now tonight my o2 is all over the place one sec 96 the next 92 or 89 then back to 95.im short of breath and I haven't been in week or 2 Idk if I got a new pe or if this is just due to the old ones? My inr is 2.8 also.

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.
Your INR is solid so it’s unlikely it’s another clot. I think being anxious and hyper vigilant about your breathing, checking your o2 all the time can really heighten what you are feeling. However, you might just want to check with your doc, explain what’s going on and see if he/she’s concerned.
