Blood clots causes?

[Kooko]

Any one how we could know the reason for blood clots that cause PE?

[Jaybird19]

. I had PE twice. My experience---

First PE after broken leģ then on warfarin 6 monthsnonly

Second PE. 10 years laterscraped leg , not banged or bumped , just scraped along edge of dentists chair. Then put on long term Apixaban

Just take care because it can be so easy for someone to bump into you in super market for instance,,

No doubt other reasons too

[Kooko in reply to Jaybird19]

Did you do any blood analysis to check that it is a genetic because your body generated blood clots for just been bumped

Be always welling 🌹

[Jaybird19 in reply to Kooko]

No the second time was it was the same previously broken leg , all the veins in that lag are damaged apparently and the leg swells up in heat. I imagine varicose veins would be a risk too.

[Kooko in reply to Jaybird19]

Be careful with this leg and you will be fine

Hope you be always in health

What I have to do to specify the reason for blood clots DVT?

[Hidden in reply to Kooko]

read all on the familydoctor.org link - basically talk to your doctor

[Jaybird19 in reply to Hidden]

I know that vitamin K will negate the use of Warfarin. I was told that there is no way to halt the action of other thinners ie Apixaban. Told it would take 48 hours for apixaban to clear. This was said by consultant for spinal op

I’m taking Revapixaban because with it no need for multi check

[Jaybird19 in reply to Kooko]

Exactly . No queuing for warfarin clinic as there used to be . Dont know difference between revatrixaban and plain atrixaban. I was given the choice f this and warfarin and started 2-3 years .ago.

good you are aware of this.

I'm no doctor, although cramps are caused by many things check out NHS site.

You can also check pulmonary embolism on NHS site for further information on your query.

I think you are trying to self diagnose better to discuss your concerns with your doctor.

Mine was caused by undiagnosed atrial fibrillation which caused clot to go to lungs and nearly kill me. I had no clue I had afib - at the time - I certainly know now! Never ignore high blood pressure either as most times that's been tested during my 64 years it's been high and written off as "white coat syndrome". It wasn't.
