Statistics don't lie It just blows my mind that people can't see or understand that COVID is a dangerous virus that can damage your body. Getting infected multiple times will have serious consequences for many.

I sometimes feel like I'm weak because I'm disabled and can't do a lot because of the pain I'm in daily

Then I remember my pulmonary embolism

TW: lots of medical talk

The normal timeline from "hey my chest hurts" to "in emergency room or dead" is hours

I walked around in agony and struggling to breathe for a WEEK

I did the SCHOOL RUN!

FOR. A. WEEK.

When it finally got bad enough A WEEK LATER and I made my husband take me to the doctor I had to walk upstairs to his offixe which left me doubled over, struggling to breathe, and in agony

Now what should have happened with a pulmonary embolism is that I should not have been able to recover from that and continue the appointment and would have been rushed to the A&E

But I DID recover!

I recovered my breathe and the agony subsided a little and so the doctor thought I had pleurisy and sent me off with oral morphine and to get a chest x-ray (but his instructions told me if the pain meds didn't help to call 999 which is what saved my life)

Anyway my point is I did all this shit which is supposed to be impossible when you have MULTIPLE BLOOD CLOTS IN YOUR LUNGS

So in summary:

I'm actually hard as fuck

Making a new post about this because we're in desperate need of help and I'm not sure what else to do. My father went into a heart center a state away (it was the closest they could transfer him) about a week ago because he was having breathing issues in his rib, and it turns out he has a pulmonary embolism; an infection in the artery in his lung. We aren't sure what caused it, but they were able to say it hasn't done damage yet thankfully. While he's been away, I've been trying to get commissions or any help to pay for another week but we still need 160$ to be good for another week, and we only have another full day to get it all together. We don't have anywhere to go if we can't stay here and I want my father to have somewhere to come home to.

We also need help with getting the meds he needs so the infection doesn't take over, and we will need help getting an Uber to get him back since we don't have any family or friends that could bring him back. I know it's alot to ask for, I didn't expect them to transfer him so far or for the infection to be anything serious at first. But work has been very slow and we can't do this on our own. I want to at least get a week paid for first.

My commissions are in my pinned post, or if you'd like to donate, I have a tipping function on my twitter which you can find here. Anything at all would mean alot to us in this situation. Reblogs included. Thank you.

Is it bad to feel angry at your dead mom cause she didn't listen to me when I told her to get something checked out. It was a blood clot. And it did kill her

Damn it if your family is worried about a medical thing like a blood clot listen for fucks sake. Your kid may be 19 but they still NEED you

And if you have a swollen area, especially if it's HARD, see a damn doctor IMMEDIATELY! Not six months later!

TW: blood clots, life-threatening illness

In January I had what was described as a 'very large' blood clot in my lungs that caused a pulmonary embolism. Originally, they couldn't figure out the cause.

At the beginning of this week, my resting heart rate was around 15/20 BPM lower than usual, sitting around 52. Noticed swelling/slight pain in my ankle. Ended up going to urgent care.

I had an ultrasound yesterday on my right leg - turns out this is the source of my issues. I have clots running down most of the main artery, with only behind the knee being completely clear. complete DVT. I'm now being referred to a vascular surgeon.

I also have a high chance of suffering from more clots, and another pulmonary embolism.

My anxiety is through the roof. I'm constantly thinking I'm going to have a heart attack. I can't stop monitoring my HR and panicking over it.

If anyone has any previous experience with either DVT, Pulmonary embolisms, or blood clots in general and has any advice, please get in touch. I need help through this.

Since June 9th, I’ve endured so much trauma and I’m currently not okay. It’s a challenge to be alone most days and although my body isn’t what it used to be, I’m blessed to even be here. Thank you Universe for giving me a Purpose to embrace my life more. I also want to thank me and my partner’s family for being my biggest support system during this time. Excited for my journey to a full recovery and to become a greater version of myself both physically and mentally 🩷

To my beautiful son, mommy and daddy misses you very much. I cry sometimes when I think of you. Thank you for spending time with us before leaving. My faith has increased so much because of you. Although daddy is great at controlling his emotions, I’ve never seen your dad so frustrated, scared and full of tears when mommy received the news and was in the hospital for a few days. We love you so much, continue watching over momma and poppa while we recover 🩵

I just found out that someone I grew up with is in the ICU with pulmonary embolisms (blood clots in the lungs). Something I myself experienced, and almost lost my life to, 6 years ago. So I decided to take a moment to share a little PSA about blood clots and their symptoms.

Knowing the symptoms and your own person risks could save your life! Please listen to your body, do not hesitate to medical attention. If you are on any type of estrogen based medication (I.e. birth control pills) speak with your Dr about the risks associated with them. Ask about your family history. Surgery can also put you at a greater risk.

I don’t share this to scare anyone, but to inform you. Personally, my clots caused me

Back pain

A dry cough

Rapid heart rate

Issues with taking a deep breath and I would become breathless within 5 steps

Take care of yourselves!

It's a very sobering moment when a doctor says "I don't know how you survived".

One year ago today I was diagnosed with my first pulmonary embolism, I had my second 2 weeks before Christmas. It was the scariest time of my life and the most painful thing I've ever experienced.

I've just completed my year of treatment and they've taken me off my meds.

So now I can relax apparently, no fear of bleeding. I still get nervous every time I get the slightest twinge in my chest though

I've just been admitted to the hospital. Again.

In March last year, I was in a motorcycle accident. I ended up getting a blood clot in my leg, a condition called DVT. A piece of that clot broke off and lodged itself in 3 places in my lungs, a condition called Pulmonary Embolism.

My treatment lasted until December last year.

But now, a few days ago, I found out that my DVT is back.

And I was on my way home from work when I suddenly started to feel weird and came to the hospital instead.

I'm telling you this, Tumblr, because my friends and family freak out when I tell them anything.

I know they love me and that their freak outs are a sign of concern.

But these are the same people whose expectations I could never live up to — because of which I have anxiety and panic attacks.

I have a pt who came in with PE and the attending showed us this article.

I remember learning that massive PE is PE with hypotension. If pt has R heart strain, that also counts as massive PE. But I guess PE isn’t classified like this anymore. Instead, you risk stratify pts with PE Severity Index Score (PESI), which tells you the risk of 30-day mortality.

Basically, you can get an echo to determine whether there’s evidence of right heart strain in pts with PE. But apparently right heart strain isn’t the best predictor of 30-day mortality. Instead, having high BNP or troponins predicts higher mortality.
