- Hello everyone.I have a question that I hope someone can address: before getting the clots, I never had high blood pressure? However, since the clots (one large clot in each lung and two DVTs in left leg), I now have high BP. I'm taking BP...

- Hello everyone:I have a question about taking a dose one hour after it was suppose to be taken. I usually take 5mg each night at 6:00. However, I was doing something tonight and briefly forgot to take it. Subsequently, I ended up taking the 5mg...
- Well, it has been just about five weeks since I was diagnosed with two DVTs in the left leg and one large clot in each of my lungs (bilateral PEs). Like many of you, I have been experiencing off and on chest pains, and some dull pains in my DVT...
- Hi everyone,Question: It has been one month since my diagnosis (two DVTs in left leg and two PEs in my lungs). Is it normal to feel pain in the leg that has two clots? It's not a horrible pain. It's more like a dull, off and on type of pain. ...
