@colleenyoung I had a saddle pulmonary embolism the last day of March 2025 All of my posts have been on Eliquis. Somehow I hadn't seen a pulmonologist and only now have an appointment for the end of March. My primary care has scheduled an x-ray, nicely that will be in a couple of days. In the beginning I could not breathe lying flat and still fine sleeping upstairs on the couch works better and I get to see Venus in the morning because I'm up coughing. Now off of Eliquis and still working through side effects. whether my cough originates from my lungs or sinus, not sure, but choking cough to get up lumps of phlegm. As far as future embolisms are concerned, the reasons they formed in the first place no longer exist, but my "blood" doctor said that if I suddenly had a swollen, painful leg I should go immediately to the ER. It happened while I was visiting my son in another state. So I did. My leg was fine, evidently no clot. But my heart rate was 33 and my early Christmas present was a pacemaker. I am an ancient and, even having four children, had never been in a hospital for more than overnight, so all of this is a new voyage.
