Was diagnosed with DVT and PE 2 months back and wanted to ask what to do about feelings that I may still be clotting while on Warfarin. Clinic and GP are cynical about it as I have been in range but the feelings I have are very similar to what I got in my other leg when I got my first DVT. Lots and lots of people in forums testify to continuing to clot needing to change dosage or the type of Anti-coag. Just don't know how the clinic can be so dismissive. Feelings are mild to medium tightness etc.
1. GP surgery is only taking over phone app and very dismissive.
2. Would A&E bother with someone saying they've got mild/medium discomfort?
I suppose what I'd really like is for a scan of my other leg and if I'm proven correct to then consider changing my meds.
How likely is this?
Also starting to feel like Warfarin is making me feel sick and bloated. Tummy gurgling and just not feeling right. Didn't have that at all before the meds. Reckon it started a month in. Limbs feel weak, tummy not right and feel slightly nauseous. Anyone else feel that?
Worse feeling I had was uncontrollable shivers and feeling similar to what you get when adrenaline is pumping around your body after a sudden shock or fright. I'd feel nauseous and had loss of appetite. Lasting for hours at a time I eventually went into A&E about it. Doctor theorised it as anxiety. While I do accept that is possible, I fear serious consequences if they were wrong. After feeling around my tummy, listening to my breathing and an ECG, I was sent on my way.
Thankfully those terrible feelings largely subsided except for 2-3 more sporadic episodes.
I hear people talk of a Vagal nerve too as being a possible culprit for crazy feelings
