No I am not a doctor, just plain ol me. I have just had a lot of health problems and strokes, so I know some of the symptoms, but not all of them, I am 45. It really does surprise me tho that if you are having problems with clotting that you are not on some kind antiquag. sorry I do not know how to spell it, also why do you not have a regular cardioloigist? If you have had heart surgery I myself would want to be seen by one at least for a rutine checkup every 6 mths or 1 yr. Just a sugestion.
Hi , just wondering are you a doctor? So you had some of these symptoms and had strokes?
How old are you? I'm 52 and a small frame person. Until too this last year I've started gaining weight. Never had that problem to deal with. My body has gone I think completely crazy since the heart surgery back in July,2005! Another thing is, I'm no longer taking any kind of HRT. I was on Prempro for 10-years before the heart-attacks, doctors took me off of it then. Another question for you - They took me off of Couminin (blood thinner)? I take nothing like Plavix either. I go back to the regular doctor next month and will tell them about these problems I'm having and hope they'll get me scheduled back with Cardio again. They released me after two years! I just don't like have no follow-up.
PLEASE go to the emergency room, never take chances especialy when you have had clotting problems in the past, been there done that, had 2 bad strokes, and recently had pulmonary embolism, JUST NOT WORTH IT!!!!!
