Pulmonary Embolism Support Group

Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, pain during breathing, and more rarely circulatory instability and death.
Almost 2 years ago I had a PE when I was 19 weeks pregnant. I was on blood thinners until around 2 months after my baby was born. I recovered well and everything has been fine since except for leftover anxiety that keeps rearing its ugly head.

How do I know this isnt innocent because of the air or its the start of another PE.

Just had an interesting conversation with ChatGPT! It was kind of like talking kindly to myself. You should get the App. It's free.
