Hi I just got diagnosed with PE on Thursday 05/25/23 and I’m frightened

All I can think is I’m going to die. I started Eliquis and it scares me. I’m just scared and feel alone and I don’t want to leave my family and pass away. I know nothing about Eliquis or what it’s supposed to do. I know not much about PE. Just heard about it a few days ago.

Go to a pulmonologist!! You should have received education from you doc about your blood thinner. It does not sound as if you are getting good medical care.

There are unfortunately a ton of people on Eliquis. It's a great blood thinner to be on. I can't tell you how to feel but know that I've been there and have had my share of bouts with PE's. It's scary, terrifying and not fun but you're on the right track. I think it's good your on this chat group. Reach out to people for advice and comfort. Do not use Google for advice.
