I'm not an expert...: It sounds like you have been diagnosed with two possible sources of 'thrombophilia, ' the tendency for blood to clot, forming deep vein thromboses or pulmonary emboli. It occurs to me that your blood pressure needs to come down into a safer range, to keep you away from danger of kidney damageor stroke. Talk with your doctor, but by all means, get another opinion if questions remain. Good luck.
