Shortness of breath during work out
Calf was super swollen
I went to urgent care
Diagnosed - Bilateral pulmonary embolism caused the shortness of breath Diagnosed with Deep vein thrombosis
3 clots left leg (calve)
Unprovoked
Doctors advising blood thinner Xarelto 20mg / day
Had 2 PFIZER MNRA shots in 2022
Any medical corrective protocols without blood thinners? Are blood thinners a concern?
I had the exact same diagnosis in 2023 and spent 11 days in hospital because lung and leg clots were so bad I was told I was days at most from going critical. The blood thinners worked over time to break up the clots but I had residual "goo" in left leg because it was clotted so badly. Hematologist said the sticky residue was permanent. I took DMSO one dropper full 3x a day orally for 3 months and it completely cleared the residue and no more need for compression socks and no swelling.
