- Next week I'll be 7 months post PE. I've noticed each time I increase my activity level my chest and/or back pain returns. I know some of you also experienced this. Did anyone's doctor explain what this pain is and why it happens? It is concerning...
- Does anyone ride a bicycle for exercise that is still on blood thinners? I'd like to get one to ride around my neighborhood for exercise but I am concerned about falling off it and injuring myself. I'm on Eliquis and I'm looking at another 3 years...
- So I've had some leg pain that has lasted about a week. I went to the ER and they did an ultrasound and they said they didn't see any clots and I had "really good blood flow". Then a few days later I noticed that the varicose veins on the side of...
- For about a month I've known that I was going to have a procedure done. I told my mom and sisters about it and THEY ASKED if I would like them to come and be at the hospital for the procedure. I said yes I would especially since it would help...
- Anyone tried swimming after your PE? I read it can increase lung capacity, so I'm willing to give it a try. I am worried about the chlorine bothering my lungs though.For those who did how did you start out? Did the chlorine bother you? Do you feel...
- So I have been trying really hard to take the advice I have received on here and from doctors to get back to doing things I used to do and increase my physical activity. I am walking close to an hour a day usually broken up into two sessions. I...
- I had my follow-up appointment with the cardiologist today and he said the ultrasound of my legs indicated no clots and good blow flow so he wants to remove my IVC filter. He said his office will call me to set an exact date but the procedure will...
- Cardiologist wanted an ultrasound of both legs done before he scheduled removal of temp IVC filter. No clots were detected in either leg not even the left leg which had the clot in September. I've heard some debate over whether old/chronic clots can...
- Just got this email:Dr. --- read your stress test yesterday and it did not show any problem with heart circulation , EKG's and Blood pressure were normal , no irregular heart rhythm, it just showed that you need to continue regular daily exercise.My...
- Went to Urgent Care last night after work because I've had a stuffy nose for over a week now. The P.A. prescribed me amoxicillin but I read you can't take that while on a blood thinner. I made sure to tell her I was on Eliquis and I even asked if...
- Did anyone's anxiety get worse as they recovered? It doesn't make sense but as I have gotten more positive news from doctors I feel myself bracing for another DVT/PE. I'm on high alert constantly. When I walk I'm very aware of my breathing and how...
- The cardiologist's nurse called back with my Holter monitor results. No irregular rhythms and my heart is speeding up and slowing down "appropriately". So does that mean I'm stuck with these palpitations forever?
- So how did everyone ease back into exercising especially those that dealt with heart palps? I've been walking 15 minutes twice a day 4 times a week, but at a slow pace. Scared to do more...
- Yesterday before I was getting ready to leave work my heart was racing a lot. I've had this issue since the PE but yesterday it didn't go down after a few minutes like it usually does. I tried to ignore it and take deep breaths but when I got up to...
- Something I have been wondering is how well do the lungs heal after a PE? And do people always end up developing scar tissue from the damage?
