A year and a half ago i suffered a big PE and did damage to my heart and right lung. Hospital also found a nodule in upper right lobe. I was in the hospital for nearly a month. Close call. I was admitted to another hospital not to long after because of clots coming back. At one point couldnt walk up more than a flight of stairs and was coughing up blood. This went on for quite awhile. I recently started to feel dizzy, short of breath and overall not good with any exertion. Feel light headed standing up. Had scan and the nodule has quadrupled in size. I was told pneumonia , given antibiotics which did nothing. Still have spot in upper right lobe and can almost feel a heavy spot in my chest. Should i be worried ?
