A member asked:

Being constipated pushing down can it cause a rib to hit my lung they have found a blood clot in my left lower lung im just trying to find an answer to this doctor has put me on 15 mg blood thinner so im not sure how long i have to be on a blood t?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Severe straining to have a BM has been known to dislodge a venous blood clot causing a pulmonary embolism. Do your physicians know where the blood clot emanated? ? A Fib or DVT in leg or pelvis. Straining wouldn't affect clots from A Fib.
