yeah I have been on warfrin, 35 years old. anyhoo,I have been feeling my heart fluttering I suppose is the best way to discibe it an d ,I had a siezure about a week ago tha doctors could not explain. I am concerend some is seriously wrong I had stop taking the shot the day before I had the seizure and now because my levals fell back down I am useing the shot again , it almost feels as if I am slowly creeping up to the piont of where I was when I had that seiesure, I do not drink smoke or anything the oonly thing that I am doing different is taking meds for blood clots I have in my lungs. . How worried should I be, my side effects right now are ,having trouble sleeping, feel swallen (gained nearly 10 lbs and my diet has not changed), shortness of breath ,feel super tierd but I am restless ,head ache.lightheaded at times.these are the majoriy of them?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having Pulmonary embolism.
So possibility of clot dislodgment in brain and heart is more.
Clot in brain can cause seizure. Clot in heart can cause shortness of breath, swelling of body, weakness etc.
So better to consult doctor and get done
1. Coronary angiography.
2. CT brain with angiography.
Both these are needed to rule out clots in heart and brain.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
