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.

You can do one of two things: Just continue with your normal dosing going forward, or you could make up the 6 mgs you missed yesterday by increasing Monday's and Wednesday's 9mgs to 12mgs. Either way, you may want to give your doc a call just to tell him what's going on and see what he says. He may just want you to continue on with your regular dose going forward but may also want you to test your INR sooner, depending on when your next test is.
