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.
so blood work back I have half this mutation which they say isn’t bad , said factor v is worse , still chest pains here and there , and breathing not the best but I’m back to walking , I love how my dr is a lame still brushes me off I’m almost 3 months he’s saying come off thinners at 6 months no explanation to why , no tests done to see what prompted it he just seems to think long car ride or short plain trip , hasn’t explained my mutation just sais you’ll be fine , and I try to be stern with him but he just assures me I’m good , like fck you have you had a pe ? So no I don’t like you’ll be fine , I had to beg to switch from xarelto to eliquis , with eliquis still fatigue, tired headache shit , but with xarelto was way worse and had mad back pain , eliquis no back pain but have ear pain and more headache shit

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.
You probably will be fine. Obviously no one ever can predict with 100% certainty that they will never clot again.
Hang in there. Keep walking and trying to get back to as much normalcy as you can. Distractions really help deal with the frustration, stress and fear.
