I had a breast lift and Tummy tuck with lipo May of
2011, 2 weeks ago I rushed myself to the hospital
because I thought I was having a heart attack. I was
told I had PE ( Pulmonary Embolism ), I was in the
hospital for 4 days then released on injections a
Coumadin. I am a smoker, well not so much now, I'm
down to 2 a day. Hoping zero soon, but its been
stressful not knowing how this has happened. Then I
came across this web site, very scary and I wish I
could go back and not do it. The doctors cant say
why or how long I have had blood clots on my lungs
only that Im lucky to be here. Could the blood clot
stay within the abdominal cavity for this long and
then travel to the lungs? I never experienced DVT,
No other blood clots were found except in my lungs. Just Me |

Sorry, I can't answer your question. I'm not a
doctor.
