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.
In have a question for anyone. I am on xarelto for the past 5 months. The plan is to get off it next month. I've noticed some dizziness not to bad and muscle soreness. Does this go away quickly after coming off xarelto? My pulmonologist stated may put me on a maintenance dose of a eliquis. I hope not but if so does it have the same side effect of dizziness? Been able to start back exercising pretty heavy but have noticied if I go real hard I feel off that evening. Is that common also? Thank you.
As for the exercising and feeling weird later, I don't know that that has anything to do with the meds. You might just be pushing your body a little too hard and it is pushing back. I know I had issues for about 11 months ... if I did too much, I was really tired and out of it for a while until I got some serious rest.
