Looking for others with Pulmonary embolisms

I had a pulmonary embolism a few years ago and have been taking warfarin ever since. They could not find any cause. I had a severe sinusitis a couple weeks ago and developed a bad cough with chest pain. I’ve had 2 chest X-rays 2 weeks apart and now I’m showing a part of my left lung is not inflated. Wonder if this could be another PE. Waiting to schedule a Ct scan

Warfarin was tough for me I could not seem to stay even, either too high, or two low and was constantly at the clinic. I have been on baby aspirin for a very long time now, and have not had another blood clot. Compression socks frequently are offered as they seem to be on the list of possible helps for blood clots. Might ask your doctor about these

I believe that over time the clots can damage your lungs. I read that somewhere
