survived a saddle embolism last fall. ive been dealing with many autoimmune issues, so, i have a bunch of specialists. for the PE, ive only been prescribed blood thinners. should i be concerned bout another one?

should i be seeing anyone other than a hematologist?

    I would see a pulmonologist as well. I did and still do. If you're on thinners you should be protected. I had a bilateral pes in November 2016. I was on Thinners for 6 months so far I haven't had anymore. But I do take daily baby aspirin.
