Hi guys
Seeing all the posts with people in similar situations has helped me a lot. I was diagnosed two days ago, I had so much blockage in my right pulmonary artery that they advised a thrombectomy right away. At the time, I don't know how I was so calm. It didn't hit me how serious having a pe is until my cousin made a comment on how i basically had a lung heart attack.
I am feeling super scared. Im scared to go to sleep now that I am discharged from the hospital. I was living with all these clots for almost 3 months, I actually can't believe I survived and I can't believe my chest pain was so minimal that I almost didn't go to the hospital to get checked out. I'm just constantly overthinking any slight pain I get, because my pe pain was so minor and I wouldve never thought i had something so serious.
What sucks too is the thrombectomy hurt a lot for me. I feel like i didnt get enough medication and i felt almost everything. It was really traumatic, and i did speak up about the pain and they gave me more sedation but i already felt so much intense pain. This whole thing was insane and i cant believe how lucky i am but now im just worried my luck will run out even though they removed most of my clots.
