The most information and support I received about pulmonary embolisms came from this site http://lwelch.hubpages.com/hub/Recov...onary-Embolism A support site not from the medical field. Pretty good info.

Mine was over a year ago January. Have had many ct scans and a a total vascular screening a couple of months ago. So far just the one but they want me on blood thinners forever because it was the most deadly kind. It can cause much stress and if you need something for anxiety don't hesitate to take it. Anyone can have a clot and if they really understood that everyone would be flipping out. Take care.
