WOW, did I get a surprise!

I went in for gallbladder issues and 1 month later and MANY heart tests later and especially after a nuclear dye CT SCAN of my lungs did Docs find blood clots...I was blown away, was not prepared for this. I was also diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation which they think is causing the P.E.

I have a question>  Does anyone else cough allot? NOT all the time, but maybe 2-3 x per week you get a very deep cough with no fluid coming out although I can feel fluid in my lungs and its a very deep sound when I cough....? Does anyone get this with their Pulminary Embalism also?  I still get mixed answers from my Doc's.

Thank you for any replies!

You may want to post this question on one of the other forums as well.  There are many here who would be able to discuss the issues with a-fib, but may not have as much to share with the embolism.  I hope you get some responses though.  Knowing others that deal with what you are dealing with gives one an odd sense of strength and "control."

Good luck

  Hi. You're post certainly caught my eye. How interesting. I went to ER 12-28-07 with severe abdominal pain - needed gall bladder removed. Came out of hospital 1-9-08 with severe heart failure and minus gall bladder.
  Turns out, I have a ton of heart problems, arrythmias only part of the problem. But it took the gall bladder attacks to get me to hosp..
   I had fluid in lungs also from CHF.
  I hope that you are doing well now.   -Steve
