What Causes The Blood Clot To Move From Leg To Lungs?
I am currently on warafin after being hospitalized for a blood clot in my leg that broke off and went to the lungs. But, it makes my body swell,I am seriously tired, have diarrhea, bad headaches and always hungry. The other problem is I alway feel constipated and have gained a lot of weight in the last 3 weeks. Can I take magnesium for my colon when on warafin?

Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
You had blood clot in your lower limb .Part of it would have broken loose and the blood carried the broken piece to the lung and blocked some blood vessels, pulmonary embolism.
The swelling is from decreased pumping out of blood and the back pressure caused. The intestines also can be congested producing abdominal symptoms.
You can take Magnesium with warfarin as there's no interaction
