hi, i had pains down my right side of my whole body about 6 weeks ago, i went to the doctor and they told me to go to A&E at hospital, anyways they done scans and said they were treating me for blood clots in my lungs! i was like WHAT how do you know i have that and they said these are the symtoms. anyhow they kept me in hospital and i had more scans and more x - rays and they finally confirmed it.. i was in there for 2 solid weeks getting fragmin injections in my stomach and blood tests everyday, im also on warfarin ( blood thinning tablets) finally they let me out but i have to go back every week and get blood tests GRRRRRR! ive forgott o take my tablets for 4 days on the run and missed 2 appointments for my blood tests, my brain just isn't working properly at the minute!then last week i got a letter off them saying i need to come into an examination clinic at hospital next week! Now has anyone had this problem before / or know anyone who has? How long does it take to get rid of this? "ITS DOING MY HEAD IN"!!! Why am i getting severe headaches? I can't sleep at all? I feel bloated of eating once a day PLEASE HELP ADVICE NEEDED THANKS PEOPLE
