Last November I started having shortness of breath. I couldn’t even my bed without getting winded. I would have to lay down and rest until I could breathe again. It finally got to the point that resting wasn’t helping me to breathe. I went to the ER and was put in a hospital bed for four days because I had blood clots in my lungs, a lot of them in both lungs. I was a healthy senior citizen and a lot of tests they still don’t know what caused the clots. I am on Eliquis now for the rest of my life. This may not be your problem, but I just wanted to mention it to you.

Cookie, Covid and reactivation of Varicella can be a cause for clots, among several others. google best foods for any diagnoses thst you have, Ask your MD about vitamin D levels, while there is differences of opinions for best level, the most agreed upon is to have a level of 80. EWG.org is a god site for choosing best nontoxic shampoo, soap, many foods, etc, You can also ask for a fatty acid profile to see if you are eating the right fats as too much epa can cause tendency to bleeding, Please just start asking google questions and then Bering them into your doctor, Good luck

Thank you so much for the info. I will do my homework on google and check the other things you mentioned. I had Covid at the beginning of the year but the doctor said that was too far back to be a cause. You brought up a lot of things for me to mention to the doctor.

Plus you can have covid without any symptoms, so there is really no way of knowing if you are still at risk,

AI Overview
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) reactivation, commonly known as shingles, can cause vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels), particularly in the brain. This VZV vasculopathy can lead to various neurological complications, including ischemic stroke and other vascular events. While typically associated with shingles rash, VZV vasculopathy can also occur without a rash.
