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.
The only time I was slightly worried was when I hit it on the corner of a cabinet door and it really hurt to touch my head. My husband looked at my skull and said he thought it was bruised, so I'm sure that's why it hurt. But otherwise, unless I've got a screaming headache, I don't get too overally concerned.
So - with a bruised toe and a lump on my head at least it made me forget about the toothache for a while! Seriously though I think it was the first time I've really bumped my head in my 2 years on warfarin. Thankully I don't seem to have done any damage but I'm still taking antibiotics for my toothache!!!
Glad your both fine too.
Hugs
