Accepted Answer

: I am sorry about your bad news. Remember, this anticoagulant just prevents more blood clots in your body but it does not dissolve the old clots, your body will do it but it takes time. Because of clotted vessels in your lungs, pressure is high in your lungs which causes right heart failure so diuretic was given. You need a higher dose of diuretic, salt &amp; fluid restriction are of equally important.

DVT: 20yo is kinda young to have blood clots in legs but it's not that rare either, especially in those w/genetic risks eg thrombophilia, taking estrogen-based birth control, have had recent major surgery or traveled extensively w/o much movement eg transoceanic flight. Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) can loosen &amp; move to lungs where they're deadly eg pulmonary embolism. Go to ER immediately for treatment

St of pitching arm becomes weak, causing clavicle to approximate first rib & clip subclavian artery and vein.
