What Are The Side Effects Of Pneumonia And Blood Clots In Lung?

Hi I have a pain in my head that reaches from behind my ear to my forehead and behind my left eye. A few days ago it started on the right side of my head but has switched to left. I had pneumonia last year which resulted in blood clots on my lung. I had warfarin for 3 months but came off the course because I felt worse. What could be causing the pain?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you had pulmonary embolism (PE) (blood clots in the lungs) and not taken full treatment, we should rule out transient emboli in your brain for such migratory headache.
So better to get done MR Angiography of brain vessels.
If this is normal then no need to worry for embolism.
Sometimes, migraine can also cause similar kind of migratory headache.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Avoid excessive sun exposure. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated.
Take combination of propranolol and flunarizine at night. Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
