Is Chest Pain And Discomfort Caused Due To DVT?
Hi, a month ago i was diagnosed with dvt and pulmonary embolism and am now on blood thinners for the rest of my life. I have been having pain in my chest and back when i breath in and tickling in my chest as well that makes me cough, is this normal? Also is there anything I can do and can avoid during recovery so I don t get pulmonary hypertension because the doctor said that I might?

Hello,
It is unrelated to DVT. An ECG can be taken to rule out cardiac causes even though it is unlikely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
