Hi all
Just looking for some advice/reassurance really. I was diagnosed with a PE in my right lung just before Christmas. I didn't have the typical textbook symptoms so it was luck really that it was discovered as the hospital were going to send me home an hour before they decided to do a ct scan which showed it up. So I'm now on 12mgs warfarin and my INR is 2.1 so the go & warfarin team I see weekly are all happy but I feel like a bit of a nervous wreck - I constantly feel like I'm taking the symptoms of having another clot, my chest feels tight, my back hurts when I breathe in and I feel lightheaded all the time- I did go to the gp again last week and they sent me back to A&E where all my blood tests were clear and my INR was stable. Has anyone else gone through this?? I'm so worried I'll just die from an undiagnosed clot although they've reassured me that can't happen while I'm taking warfarin I just want to go back to normal living but this has taking over. Today I have a throbbing pain behind my knee and I'm convinced it's another clot - help
