I'm 25, I was recently diagnosed with PE, due to some contraceptive pills and long car ride, I was very scared when I was told this. How long will this recovery process take, I know it can be different depending on the person

I'm not on anything right now, except condoms, I have an appointment scheduled to find something new, but I'm not sure I want to try any.

Oh my! 😢 Did they keep coming back. Well I feel much better my chest isn't hurting I went walking today by myself in Walmart and I didn't get short of breath, I'll be starting back work on the 20th. I just pray the blood clots do not form again

Apparently it's very unlikely to form new clots while on blood thinners, when you are in the correct INR range (with Warfarin).
Good luck. I'm sitting at work just now, but I only go to work for short periods of time.

I was misdiagnosed for 5 months they kept saying it was anxiety. While some of the symptoms are the same, I couldn't walk up 5 steps or walk 10 feet without being very short of breath. I would have these feelings of impending doom and no one believed me. Three ambulance rides and 5 months later I suggested emboli and then one doctor listened, had the CT scan and they found both lungs full of clots and some heart failure. Am on warfarin for life now and have scarring in the right lung base. Am not impressed with our hospital. I get my INR done weekly, and mostly monitor it myself. I am an RN. My target is 2.5 but try to keep it just a tad above. Had bad diarrhea earlier this year and my INR went to 1.3, then had to supplement with injectable heparin. But that's only been once since October 2013. My family doc lets me do my own thing.

Oh my, all that time and they didn't think to check for clots. It's even worse when no one believes you. I'm sorry you went you through that. They caught mine right in time, I thank God I went to the ER when I did. I never want to experience that kind of pain again. I'm not sure how long I will be on Eliquis but I will find out for sure on the 25th. My goal now is to lose some weight. and cut back on some of my bad eating habits.

It's awful what you went through. Undiagnosed for so long and it might have finished so much worse!! Take care.
