Question 1

experiencing back pain from epidural 13 weeks ago and now experiencing left leg pain and left chest pain. related or a blood clot?

Accepted Answer

Need additional info: Is there any leg swelling? if yes, right or left leg
does the chest pain get worse with taking deep breath?
Are you short of breath?
and cough or fever?

if you have chest pain getting worse with breathing and short of breath? best thing would be to go to nearby ER and ensure that there is no clot in the blood vessels of leg and lungs.

Thanks

Question 2

Accepted Answer

: Please follow up with your physician.Tgere are many possible causes. Stay well hydrated, avoid direct sunlight and heat. Monitor temperature and have a COVID 19 test. Review the Emergency room visit with your physician. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and dizziness.

Question 3

been in icu for 4 days, two blood clots on my right lung 1 on my left i am on a medication called eliquis,  home now but my right leg my calf and my groin area feels like i'm forming another clot is it possible and should i go back to the hospital?

Accepted Answer

Yes: An ultrasound and blood testing is indicated. Please seek medical care. Drink fluids to avoid dehydration and exercise as tolerated.

Question 4

deep vein thrombosis left me with 1 blood clot in  right leg-3 clots in lungs-have been on warfarin 4 years now. is this safe to be on this..

Accepted Answer

Safer Than Not!: A recurrent pulmonary embolus could be fatal so i would suggest that the risk of bleeding associated with the warfarin is much lower than the risks of recurrent clot. Possible alternative would include placement of a filter in your ivc which has its' own possible complications.

Question 5

i have a blood clot in my left leg. would aspirin help?

Accepted Answer

Not really: Best medicine remains Coumadin (warfarin) or Heparin or lowmolecule weight heparins like Lovenox etc.

Question 6

i've blood clot in my left leg, would aspirin help overcome this?

Accepted Answer

Ask your doctor: It would be best to ask you doctor since they will know what medication you are currently on.

Question 7

what can i do to get a blood clot in my left leg fixed?

Accepted Answer

Anticoagulation: You must see your doctor, who may refer you to a vascular specialist, and be anti-cpagulated right away.  Often the clot(s) will dissolve if no new ones are allowed to form if the body is permitted to heal itself.

Question 8

why do i keep getting blood clot in my left leg when my hemoglobin is high and my factor 5is normal?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: You need to be examined and worked up carefully for recurrent clots.

Question 9

non occlusive blood clot left leg. got in shower, slipped on shower mat, hit left shin against shower rail. bruise and and slight bump. dislodge possib?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Clots below the knee only usually do not cause symptoms or significant problem even if they dislodge as they are too small to cause . Some experts do not even recommend blood thinners for this kind of clots as they often dissolve on their own. You should continue full activity as normal as this hastens improvement. If you have a lot of symptoms then short course of blood thinner is seasonable..

Question 10

i have blood clot in my left leg so i stopped eating food with vitamin k and now my red blood cell count iron folate (folic acid) b 12 dropped ?

Accepted Answer

K doesn't cause clot: While Vit K is needed for blood to clot, avoiding K doesn't reduce the risk of clots! The only reason to avoid is if you're on warfarin as K can interfere with it, but research shows being on some K actually stabilizes the effects of warfarin. The important thing is to have a consistent amount &amp; then adjust warfarin dose. See http://bit.ly/1hHlMAv
Foods rich in K are good sources of iron/folate.
