Low 02, chest pain, noisy breathing . Not been taken seriously. .
At the end of November I was sent to hospital by my GP for a suspected pulmonary
embolism
. My oxygen levels were 87% and even though I was given oxygen (5 litres ) it didn't improve.

Sore joints
In 2016 I had a DVT in my left leg and in January 2017 with a pulmonary
embolism
in my left lung. I’m now on apixaban for life, I’m still not sure of what your allowed to take because of this drug. My joints are very sore. I got Co codomol 30/500, but they make me feel ill. Thanks in advance. X

Medication options
For the past 9 months I have been taking Coumadin from the UK because I cannot tolerate the US brands do to the fillers. I no longer can get it. Prof Hughes wanted me on Coumadin because he said the newer medications are not therapeutic. Is there a long acting Warfarin? Or any other options. Designer16

I am a medical Mystery
I started with pneumonia 18 months ago and then Pulmonary
embolism
on both lungs. Just when I was beginning to feel better and returned to the Gym ,I became very short of breath which was diagnosed as not proportional with the lung damage sustained.

Serendipity situations? What have you had happen?
* Caught a pumulary
embolism
low in my lung when the did my cancer CT test. Turns out I had a pe in other lung too. They were able to put in an ivc (inferior vena cava) filter before surgery to prevent a heart attack or stroke.

Heparin to Warfarin Bridging
Hi, I recently came out of surgery and was given heparin injections (came off warfarin in advance of the surgery). I am now being bridged back to warfarin. I'm injecting 15,000 single doses of heparin while "reloading" my warfarin. The warfarin dosage is 12 mg. I have to do this for 3 days, and then

Rivaroxaban
Being put on a trial of Rivaroxaban. Have done a little research and here’s hoping this will help me. Been told no INR testing etc. But cannot find much info to tell me if it is as effective as warfarin??

Small changes make a big difference
I had a pulmonary
embolism
a few weeks ago and it has inspired me to make some changes like only working contracted hours at work and accepting things I cant do anything about and taking steps to help myself as this afternoon I went for a walk and decided to try some hills and managed them without any
