I have felt fine the past 30 days since being put on Xarelto. But 2 days ago, I noticed I am getting shortness of breath again. Is this common to revert back?

I have Bilateral PE.

Doctor says the clots are on the perimeter of my lungs so not as much of a threat and that it was caught in this earlier stage.

    Hi Carey. I noticed when I felt so much better I would often do to much . Then feel bad for a few days. little steps are best.. It will get longer in between. Just take it slowly. 😊
