Low sodium healthy.: To prevent fluid overload and heart failure as well as elevated blood pressure. To be specific (not knowing all of your medical history) this question should be answered by both your cardiologist and primary physician. Schedule a visit to discuss this one question only. Avoid bringing a laundry list of other issues or this will get sidelined. Also check out www.mayoclinic.org for diet information.

Long term AC: With known coagulation abnormalities & bilateral pulmonary emboli you have likely been advised to continue anti-coagulation (probably with warfarin) long term. Close monitoring is vital. If you have some heart issues, medications might be indicated & you should follow-up with a cardiologist. Diet: watch vit K on warfarin but otherwise fruits, veggies, healthy grains & fats, maintain heathy weight.
