Blood clots: Well, unless you have other risk factors, a pulmonary embolism (blood clot to the lungs) is not really likely. Any history of family heart disease or lung disease? You have asthma, from looking at your medications, so are these related? Have you increased your exercise recently? Any injuries/trauma/surgeries? If you are worried, I would get evaluated. Good luck!
