What Causes Flushed Face And Swollen Ankles While On Blood Thinners?
Last month I was hospitalized for an PE, saddle shaped hanging into both lungs. I have been on blood thinners. Today quite suddenly my face has become extremely flushed and my ankles are quite swollen. I am not short of breath. I have been extremely fatigued since taking the blood thinners. I don t know if I should go to the ER or not.
