Thanks. I'm dealing with this right now. I was eating ice cream when I first noticed something was wrong and immediately remembered my dad having Bell's Palsy many years ago. Also dealing with the headaches.

Hello my mother is going through this ! I’m Super happy to come across your video !!! ❤❤

What a journey, hope it turns around for you….and thanks for sharing. I’m 6 months in and feel no change after month 2. Did you avoid intense cardio, even tho I do light cardio I think progress was better without sport

My wife was on birth control pills...recently got brain stroke....found out to be protein S deficiency...shes doing well with the treatment...she is on Aspirin 75mg.... please let me know if you are on medication right now or you are off the medication ? We are very much terrified regarding re-occurance of clotting....

So I figured that most of my pain is psychosomatic. The pulmonologist, gave me Xanax and Methylcolabamin (active Vitamin B12). When I used Xanax all pain went away after 20 minutes and came back after 1-3 days. The Methylcolabamine is for nerve damage, which support the nerve recovery. Now after 1o Month of pain, In 1 Month all my pain was gone (because it was not real).

Thanks for the videos Mel. You are a great communicator. Just coming up to my 3 month cardio check for cteph/ph.

Thank you soo much for your channel, can I ask whether you have ever tried inhaling steam daily over time?

Hello. Beforehand I am so glad that you survived this episode. I found your channel because right now my wife is in intensive care precisely due to a massive thrombosis in the lungs. She’s been at the hospital for three days now and even if she can breathe on her own and in general, she looks only tired, We are very worried. She usually works a lot at the computer and we recently did a very long trip on an airplane about 16 hours of flight. Dr said that that may have been the trigger. Only problem is that when we came back she didn’t realize that she had this problem and the flight back home worsen the condition that she didn’t know she had from the first flight. Anyway, I am looking for hope and you are giving it to me right now. I hope that she can survive this because we have two beautiful girls that also wait for her recovery. Thank you for your testimonial. God bless you.

Thank you for the information. New to all of this. This is my second week home from hospital with blood clots in both lungs.

H Mel - I'm super late to the PE party (if we can call it that sheesh! 😬) . . . but I just found your content and it's been very interesting. This year (January 2024) I experienced sub-acute massive saddleback PE, as my GP calls it, "The Widowmaker". I had 2 embolisms in one lung, 1 in the other, and, as the blood clot specialist at the ER called it: "A VERY LARGE clot in the centre" (of the main aortic branch of my lungs). It was quite the eye-opening, literally death-defying experience! Most of my doctors have no idea how I survived, but... here I am! Previous to all this, I & my daughter had Covid several times. Untested formally for a couple of bouts, but home tests for the others. My daughter even had two tests done by the local Covid-testing clinic, then later the ER - and those tests came back negative, despite her lungs feeling like they were on fire! And despite the public health nurse advising she go to Emerg NOW! lol With that bout, no one was interested in testing me, even though we lived together! We've always assumed I was asymptomatic for that round of Covid. That experience did leave me to believe the tests are not always gospel, and most likely it's best to go with how your body feels. As our GP said, my daughter ticked ALL the boxes so, despite test results it was noted that she had Covid . All that said, we've gotten pretty good at feeling the different symptoms (is it flu? just a cold? RSV? or Covid ?) because even with overlap, we've both noticed slight variations between afflictions. So, I think it's great that your family doctor started to take your Covid symptoms into account, because not only is there the overlap with some of the symptoms of PE recovery, but your major symptoms do seem more long-Covid related. And bravo to your fiancé for asking such a great question (@ 5:35)! I think Covid, long-term, can create so many unknown complications - and there's going to be so much more to learn over time. I think our doctors need to keep it in mind when patients don't seem to 'bounce back' - especially young'uns like you!! I'm retirement age, so I have a whole different set of issues that can create complications, age being one factor. We also need to keep reminding our doctors to keep Covid in mind when we aren't recovering "like normal" for things - like your PE recovery journey. I do want to address the brain fog, or memory loss/lack of concentration or focus issue. For my daughter & I, it was one of the scariest symptoms! And when it happened to us, we were both a couple weeks recovered from having caught Covid just before we left a visit to Europe in 2022. My daughter's convinced that we caught Covid in the Florence Airport, due to no ability to have 'buffer zones' of space around passengers, even if we were all masked-up! And when we experienced the memory loss it was really pronounced! Much more severe than just that walking-into-a-room-wondering-why-I-walked-in-here feeling. My memory got so Swiss-cheesy, honestly, I could imagine forgetting my own name! My daughter forgot numbers, and many simple words for things. She had to read her driver's license over the phone to an insurance agent, and stumbled half-way through, telling the agent she was still on the call, that she recognized the number on the ID, but didn't remember the name for the number, or how to describe it! My daughter was in her 30s at the time. Around that time is when we started sharing with each other we were having this kind of memory issue. My job consists of lots of memory work, so it came back after about 6-8 weeks. But it's a symptom that keeps returning whenever I've had a couple of 'colds' since then. So, that has become a tell-tale sign that we've had Covid make a reappearance in our household. Oh! And those moments when something is 'on the tip of your tongue', or you thought of something, but couldn't share it immediately? Yeah... that thought is NEVER coming back. NEVER. It's gone. LOL Maybe something else will trigger it, but it has yet to happen to either of us, so, yes the best strategy is to either share the idea/thought immediately, or learn the graceful art of letting go. The "share-immediately" plan reminds me so much of when my mother was experiencing dementia. So that's something to look forward to! Yay! 😉 Anyway - I hope you're doing better - I haven't watched all your content yet, still working my way through it! All the best to you! 👏💯❤

I am sure that I got PE through the Covid Jabs. I was on a long haul flight from Melbourne to Dubai (13hrs), then Dubai to London Heathrow (7hours), where I got DVT. The clots eventually went to my lungs but was mis diagnosed by the NHS. It was only 3 months after my return to Australia that I ended up in hospital for a week with multiple clots in my lungs on both sides. Iam now on Eliquis x tabs a day. I forgot to mention that I also have Atrial Fibrillation I was on Beta Blockers to control this, but they just made me very tired and lethargic, I am now on Calcium Channel blockers which do not make me tired. The thing is that I have no symptoms, my Apple Watch tells me I have AFib, so part from feeling short of breath when exercising ( I put that down to more cardio needed), I live a normal life.

Nice video I appreciate that after going through a pe

Thanks for sharing. I had a bilateral pulmonary embolism at the start of this year (28M). I was on Xarelto/Rivoroxaban 30mg to 20 mg 3 month schedule. 3 Days after coming off Xarelto I had no ‘symptoms’ but had on odd feeling, more in my head than leg and was eventually convinced to go to A and E… Boom - it had happened again and within 24 hrs my right leg was un-usable. I had no risk factors or family history of clotting. I hope everyone reading this is well and please please trust your gut. ❤ I’m also on warfarin for life and get bad chest pains 😢

Im 2 weeks out from my PE diagnosis & this is truely aweful I guess my life as I once knew it is over

Bruh why even ask 😭

I’m finding after 6 weeks I get really worn out while walking and no one is telling me if this is what to expect

Iv had many of them in my 36 years got diagnosed with a DVT in my calf few years ago was givin blood thinners… I did t take them properly and yeah yesterday I felt like something was really wrong I went to hospital and had a CT scan I remember the feeling of the ink going thru the cannula feel like you might pee your self now I’m home live alone no partner feel scared I have hiv aswell I never give myself resit for that rough time Iv had… thank you for your videos 🤲

Discharged today with multiple same meds I’m scared for my life Iv abused my body for a lil time and got clean 4 months ago but relapses today I feel like I’m slowly committing pain slow suicid I’m scared

Diagnosed with PE about 4 weeks ago and now on medication. Not sure if the drop off in stamina while walking is normal.

I am wondering whether you have fibrosis. I do have some fibrosis, which causes from time to time little pain and ultimately shortness of breath. That can be permanent (I am now 10 month in recovery). However, it still getting less and less pain.

I can feel pressure on my chest and tight ring on my throat just viewing your hiking video. Know how it feels when your muscles are capable more but not getting enough oxygen, perfusion mismatch is not a fair company 😢

Plus: Zink, NAD+,, high protein diet from fish and animals, exercise , fast 1 or 2 days per week for autophagy

Thanks for sharing. Had a similar experience.

I am a very healthy person play badminton almost every week for 15 years but my health detiorate due to Pulmonary Embolism now its been 5 months I still cannot get my stamina back if I walk fast I feel tired and shortness of breath

Hello Mel, I am now in month 9, double sided PE with infection and fluid, on Xeralto. After 3 month the lung was fine no blood-cloth but still little fluid and smal fibrosis (scar tissue). DVT still existing. After 6 month I did the DVT Ultrasound and the legs are fine now. The problems is the fibrosis, still pain after 7 month then I discovered ZINK can heal fibrosis faster. I have been taken ZINK, NAD+ and Sirtuin 1, after 9 month the pain went away. And I am fine now. And yes right after the hospital I started walking 3-5 Kilometer every day, until now. Breathing exercises also helped to expand the lung and stretch the fibrosis.

Thank you! This helped me understand some aspects of my brand new diagnosis! I am glad to hear that you are still doing lots in life. Thank you!

Hope you are feeling better and doing well ❤️‍🩹. Take care Mel.

Thank you for sharing this. Recently, I experienced a pulmonary embolism (PE) about a week ago in May. Additionally, I had pneumonia approximately 20 years ago. Currently, I have blood clots throughout both lungs, with the most severe ones on the left side. Interestingly, this episode began while I was riding my bike about two weeks ago. Prior to that, in March, I visited the Emergency department due to chest pain, and at that time, I was diagnosed with costochondritis. In January, I broke five ribs during a skiing accident. The pain was so intense I was bedridden for a couple of weeks and mostly immobile after that. Given my symptoms, I suspect that my PE may be related to deep vein thrombosis (DVT), especially since I experienced intense pain and occasional discomfort in my right calf after breaking my ribs. EDIT: for clarity

I had a DVT that turned into a PE. For the most part they stated that my PEs were small and they were decreasing in size. 2 months in they now say that the clots in the lungs have desolved. Now, my pain is sporadic. I don’t know if that’s normal or not. Could anyone share.

Hi. I had 3 blood clots in my lungs May 2019. I have never been the same. On blood thinners for the rest of my life. The damage has left me easily fatigued and I finally had to give up work August 2023. I regularly become short of breath and with other on going issues I will never work again. I'm only 55. Keep fighting and best of luck.🥰

my bro has been released from hospital and he still has clot in lungs. what exercise he can do to get rid of the clot? he is also on dialysis

Feb 2023 i had multiple blood clots in my right lung. Took xerelto for 6 months then doctors took me off. 21st January 2024 i suffered 2nd pulmonary embolism . Bilaterally this time. I was put back on xerelto 20mg for life this time.

Drinking lots of water helps dissolve blood clots especially the lungs..

Eat or increase a medley of vegetables and beans along with brown rice especially chickpeas and black beans.

I was so ignorant about PEs that I didn't know they were so serious and could be fatal. When I went to the hospital, thinking I was having a heart attack, I was told it was a PE. So, I thought nothing of it and was glad it wasn't a heart attack. The night doctor came in and said, "Well, since I'm standing here talking to you, I can say you made it through!" Only then did I realize the severity. PE awareness is certainly needed since I'm sure there are many, many people who are as unaware as I was.

Thank you for this information after 2 years I am still not 100%. I still get winded easy, and I have had one micro clot a year ago.. all your symptoms are exactly the same as mine ❤

I did extensive research during Covid 19. Most of the severly affected Covid patients suffered from extremely high pulmonary artery pressure. This was due to pulmonary capillary damage. It's why they often got blood in their lungs.This could be the case of residual scarring.

For a medicine like Eliquis to work, the blood has to make it to the clot. Likewise, if there was an extreme clot that completely blocked flow, the products of that clot (fibrin) might not be making it into circuclation to be picked up by the test. Liquid plumber only works when the clog is close to the bowl or when the clog lets a little fluid by.

That was insane. Red bull sign this chick

I was hospitalized after blacking out twice two weeks apart. The diagnosis was bilateral massive saddle embolism and my heart as being damaged. I was given zero chance of survival and i would be kissing the world goodbye probably within 30 minutes. The doctor said but i could be given an intervenes drug...very powerful but also very risky. This drug could possibly break up the clots but it could also kill me. I opted for the drug. After four days in intensive care i was discharged and instructed to take Eliquis blood thinner. I was told to get to the ER if i ever fell and hit my head. I was also scheduled for a follow up with a hematologist. The cause of the clots remains unknown. I was not provided any other information or told about recovery. I have less energy and strength. I need to sleep a lot. I do not have pain other than the knee pain i have had for a long time. I do not feel ill. I do what i can and am careful not to overdo strenuous activities like yard work. This happened about 10 months ago and all i can say is that i feel like i have aged 10 years. I was 76 years old and judged myself to be a very strong active person when i had the saddle embolism. I did not feel like an "old woman" but now i do. I am fortunate to have survived but i will never be the same. Thank you for your video. It helped me to better understand this life changing situation.

Two months complete my lips no improvement help me i cant able to blow air

SEND IT🤙🔥🤙🔥🤙🔥

Hi Mel 👋🏼 your channel supported me when I came out of hospital last August so thank you. They found two clots one in my artery behind right knee and one in left brachial artery. They couldn’t operate so they are stuck there. I am on lifelong apixaban now. I wondered are you on this still? I also wondered if you fly and if so how to get over the fear of it on DOACs Thank you again for your channel love from Wales x

Hi Mel, I’ve been watching your videos since I was diagnosed with a massive PE back in August 2023. I recently had a 6 month follow up and my VQ scan showed a large perfusion mismatch. I have been referred to specialists that deal with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) because of the concern that I’m still having a defects after 6 months. Based on your VQ it may be worth while to ask your doctor about it. It seems like the specialist you are going to is going to test for that. But for your own research I would recommend reading up on it. Some people also get diagnosed with Chronic Thromboembolic Disease. Its similar to CTEPH but the patient does not have hypertension but they have chronic clots. This may give you some more answers to what you’re going through.

warfarin is causing me severe stomach pain and bloating

❤hi here's some sound advice to consider. What is causing your ongoing pain in your neck and breathlessness and walking is,nt your recovery time its your medication Eliquis and three other DOAC,s called direct oral antiguagulants the sise effects from these drugs are responsible for all your pain l used to be on warfrin for a dvt l had then one day my doctor rang me a said hey Martin there's this new drug blood thinner l think you should swap to you just pop one drug a day no blood monitoring or appointments at the clinic for blood inr testing l thought great then my nightmare began these doacs caused hives skin rash breathlessness walking differ ulties hair loss tightness pain in chest back and shoulders dizziness to name a few l suffered these for over a year with no improvement l demanded that my doctor return me to warfrin with some differculty he did since then everything has inproved no more side effects yes its a hassle going to the clinic every month taking blood to check INR but hey better that then those side effects for sure did l also mention spasm of tightness in lower calves when walking Go onto warfrin if you can pet you,ll be safe and most of your side effects will go wishing you well from england

I had my PE in January2021 and was 2 years before I started or feel like I could be on the path to recovery. My respirologist was useless as well and seemed uncaring so I stoped going. I started back to the gym as soon as I could , several months after it happened. It is now 3 years and I am finally feeling like I can completely recover if I continue to exercise . I am 62 but have always worked out, that may be why I made it through. In my mind I believe I am rebuilding my lung that has felt dead for 3 years and I will completely recover. I have watched all your reports and can tell you I have felt your pain, keep a strong mind and imagine your efforts at the gym are rebuilding your lungs. Life is too beautiful to give up.

Thanks for the update Mel your info is really helpful I had a sub massive saddle p e in June 2022 initially it was thought it was due to a flight back from Montreal to London there now saying it wasn't along enough flight they also said it would be a 2 year recovery but to forget that now ive recently seen haematology after 18 months and had advanced blood tests and a echocardiogram I still can't get back to a normal level get very fatigued and have to pick and choose what things I do im a 60 year old male who was previously very fit
