I am sorry about your bad news. Remember, this anticoagulant just prevents more blood clots in your body but it does not dissolve the old clots, your body will do it but it takes time. Because of clotted vessels in your lungs, pressure is high in your lungs which causes right heart failure so diuretic was given. You need a higher dose of diuretic, salt & fluid restriction are of equally important.
