Pricking Sensation In Heart, Having Genetic Blood Disorders, On Coagulants, Clots In Lungs, Blockage In The Leg. Suggestions?
Quiet often & twice today I had a sharp staging or pin prick feeling in my hart. This alarms me b/c I had a PE 1/15/2010 @ the age of 34(2 months before my 35th BD). I was on blood thinner for 1 yr then switched to 325mg Asprin a day for past 2 yrs. I also take 2 mg of Folic acid a day w/ blood pressure med, cholesterol meds, fish oil & valume for anxiety. 2 genetic blood disorders that make my blood thick & platelets sticky plus 1 that s a mutation . I feel like it s small clots or hart related. PE in 2010 showed clots in both lungs & 10 inch blockage from right leg to navel. No screen. Any advice?

Hi
person who is high risk for PE and had PE in past should be on anticoagulant for longer time , your medicine is changed before 2 years and now sometimes you are getting some problem
in this background i advise to consult your cardiologist and get evaluated and take medicine as per his advise .
take care
