Yes: With adequate care. Identifying the risk factor for the DVT will help determine the duration of anticogulant treatment to prevent recurrence after acute treatment

Yes : yes, you can survive both but make sure to take the blood thinners that were prescribed. You should also follow up with your doctor to help identify a cause for the dvt.

DVT concern: People survive DVT/ PE all the time. Is there a family history? Known hypercoagulable state? on birth control pills and a smoker? You may wish to talk to a doctor or therapist on Health Tap Prime regarding your concerns so that you can receive effective feedback.

Yes, you can: survive PE. PE deaths are relatively rare, estimated to be about 0.01% of the population per year, and that's mostly people with risk factors (immobilization, trauma, major surgery, clotting disorders, etc.). You have about as much chance of dying from PE as you do from the flu (and, again, usually because other health issues exist). Don't worry about it unless your doctor is.
