A member asked:
After having a pulmonary embolism, is being short of breath normal when your inr is low?

Not really: You may be short of breath after pulmonary embolism (pe) due to residual clot in the pulmonary arteries if you get recurrent episodes of shortness of breath you may be having recurrent pe. This may occur especially if your inr is not maintained in the therapeutic range. This is not normal and requires further evaluation. Tell your physician!

Abnormal: But common due to, lung damage or heart impact inr is a test of anticoagulant - Coumadin (warfarin) and not specific to any breathing issue.
