I'm so sorry you've experienced more than one Pulmonary embolism. Not only are they scary, but each one adds more damage to your body.
I had a motorcycle accident 2 years ago and fractured my ankle. Being non-weight bearing with no anticoagulants on board resulted in a Right Lower Lobe Pulmonary embolism for which I was placed on Eliquis x 6 months and then had a repeat scan which showed the embolism had been resolved. Unfortunately, once you've had one...as you probably know, you're forever susceptible to having more.
What caused your embolisms and are you currently on medical treatment?
The last two were provoked with a surgery and another procedure. This last one, I have no clue. Double dosing of Eliquis currently and will always be on the med now.
Did you know you had a clot in your leg? Im familiar with having DVTs but the last two PEs, they didn't know where the clots came from.
Are you using any blood thinners?
