I was diagnosed with dvt and pulmonary embolism about a month ago does that mean i have a blood disorder?

Dvt: Not necessarily If there is a reason why this developed e.g trauma,airplane travel,on bed rest ,oral contraceptives use then no.however,if not should be evaluated by a hematologist to determine if there is a hypercoagulable state.this is more common in people with a family history
