- Just wondering how common it is to be dx with a PE without finding a DVT; be it from the legs, arms, pelvis or abdomen. When I was dx 7+ months ago, they checked my right leg never found a clot or stem so DVT was ruled out yet no further search for...
- Since dx I always have a worry I'm not active enough and that I'm being counter productive in my recovery - possibly increasing my chance for clotting now that I'm off warfarin . I have a little infant so still having to sit quite often to feed her...
- Ive been told it is safe to still have children after a PE but I'm still so anxious of clotting again I don't know if I can go through another pregnancy. My PE was "likely related to post partum pregnancy hormones" so I have this huge fear that...
- I'm on day 5 of 10 of transitioning off warfarin. My Hema says I can stop fully and not worry but my internal specialist wants me to start baby aspirin once my 10 days is done. During my recent exam he believes he heard strong s2 beats from my...
- Do I need the "all clear" from my dr to start exercising again or can I just start? I want to start running and biking again as I'm finding I need exercise to up my energy levels and I use it to calm myself when stressed or needing "me" timeAlso...
- I know being on anticoagulants makes us prone to bruises but have you noticed it takes longer for them to diminish? I'm already on iron supplements to keep my levels a little higher during treatment yet bruising like crazy still.When or do we have...
- Has anyone gotten a call saying the lab didn't get a proper blood sample for their inr draw? I just got a call from my clinic pharmacist. apparently the tube was insufficient to calculate inr level. Grrrr I have to go back tomorrow - a 30 minute...
- Ive been fighting leg pains for the last 3.5 months since my PE dx 4.5months ago. Upon initial dx, no DVT was found in either leg. I've recently in the last 2 wks went for a full body X-ray plus 2 u/s to check for baker cyst and had a Doppler...
- As far as I know I'm on a 6month course for 1st dx of a PE and my dr has given me some restrictions like no to certain meds, stay away from activities that can cause bleeding, try to limit foods high in vit k, limit or if possible dont drink...
- For those of you with children do you plan to, or have you already, had genetic testing for clotting disorders for your children as well if something showed up in your test or not? My gp has mentioned this to me at my last appointment for something...
- Isnt just wonderful when your clinic is at a loss for why your inr results jump around so much!Sunday I had to do an inr because there was blood in my urine. It came back 2.3 so dr said no worries about bleeding so now waiting for culture to come...
- Has anyone gone through a pulmonary lung function test after their PE? I'm booked june 12 plus an ECHO the same morning with an internal specialist but wondering what they are trying to find/rule out with these tests. I was only able to talk to...
- Just wondering if anyone can give advise on how much I should be trying to pump for a 2month old?I'm going through recovery for a pulmonary embolism and finding it draining to be bf'ing on demand so entertaining the idea of pumping for feeds until...
- Has anyone had pain/tightness behind their knee while on recovery? I was not dx with a DVT (or as the Doppler done in hospital on march 25 showed no DVT) so not sure why this pain has started.I've been somewhat bed bound the last few days aside...
- Reading posts of ppl reaching their last day of treatment and coming off warfarin has me wondering Does anyone know how drs decide how long your initial warfarin treatment will be for a PE?My "story" - i was diagnosed 5 days post partum. No DVT was...
