Got a ct scan today and they said that the clot has gone. I'm guessing there is no scarring otherwise they would mention it I suppose the tight chest should go soon I'm guessing if the clot has gone

    Hi James

    That is fantastic news that your clot has gone smile

    Your body will still take some time to fully recover, but great news

    So pleased James. Whereabouts are you. My doctor in West Sussex England doesn't think I will have a scan to check if clots have disbersed which is a shame as I would like to know. Hope the rest of your recovery goes well. ? x

      I'm from Crawley but I'm in Australia at the moment. I was complaining about not breathing properly in the morning after i get oyt of bed from doing nothing to my doctor and he said to do a lung function test and a ct scan. I get the results tomorrow but the doctor said he couldn't see any.

      Ok thanks. I still get breathless going up hill and mowing the grass. Most days now I am fine. I used to be breathless just turning over in bed or in the shower. 9 months into recovery much improved 😊
