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.
Hi all!
Im trying to get more positive about my future, as its been really hard to imagine a happy healthy life after this event. I am very afraid of reoccurence, so Im taking a good friends advice and staying away from discussions about statistics that just tend to depress and scare me. I read some websites today about natural blood thinning foods and nutrients that can aid in the prevention of blood clots.
Who knows how true any of this is really, as the internet is a free for all of information but maybee it will calm some of your anxiety as it did mine, it gave me some bit of hope.

I also read some about vitamin E
and baby aspirin.
Aspirin is great for arterial clotting prevention and stroke/heart attack.
There are a lot of supplement, vitamins, foods that can affect your bodies own internal clotting ability both in good and bad ways. From my own research, there is no sure fire prevention other then staying healthy and listening to your body.
