Hi everyone. First timer in this sub. I went into the ER yesterday morning with extreme shortness of breath (struggling to inhale a deep breath), lightheaded, nauseous, appetite suppressed, etc. so they did all the basic stuff and I was noticing they were really struggling to start an IV. Well they got it in there and I had the get more scans done.
Then I get the news. A blood clot had traveled to my lungs. Pulmonary embolism. I get heparin. I’m put on clopridigel and eliquis. But they decided last minute to let me go home (clot isn’t huge but still concerning). I still can’t breathe and feel horrible. I’m only 32 and I’m not very educated about this. I’ll be seeing a hematologist as well. Ugh anyone else experience a pulmonary embolism?
