Hello all, thought I'd never come back to this site but here I am with more questions. It's been 5 months since I was diagnosed and treated for a double PE in my lungs, and now since it's warmer out I've been walking for a couple miles a day. Now today I've been thinking (bad, I know) but has there been anyone here that has experienced a recurring PE while on blood thinners and while exercising?

the doc didnt say, but i had to have had them for a while and didnt notice. my advice, see a doctor. even if it isnt a PE at least you'll know.
