A member asked:
What is the survival chances of a 71 yo person who has a blood clot in his heart and has a serious back problem?he lose his appetite too.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only your Dr can say: Too many unknowns to answer this question. What kind of clot? Where? How 'healthy' is the heart? Are there other medical problems. The doctor who knows your history and physical exam the best, has the best way to have an estimate for this answer. And remember this is only an estimate.
