Suggest Remedy For Blood Clots In The Lungs And Legs
My father was recently diagnosed with 2 blood clots in the lung and 1 in the leg. He was put on a blood thinner to try and disolve them by his primary care. It was also discovered by CT scan that he also has fluid in his lungs. His lung doctor (he also has emphysema and sleep apnea for which he does lung treatments at home 2xper day and a cpap machine at night) wants to go in and suck out the fluid from the lungs. He is scheduled to meet with a hematologist in 2 weeks so that he/she can take over care of the clots. We his children think this is risky and need an opinion from an expert.

HI
Well come to HCM
I can understand your concern for your father, this is ling pathology and with the right treatment prognosis would be nice tapping from the thoracic cage is not complicated procedure and this is nothing to worry, the blood clot inside the lung would coma round without any complication over all this would be no problem, hope this helps.
