Blood Clot in Lung
I just found out they are almost sure I have a blood clot in my lung, my D-Dimer was high and the CT scan showed something. They are doing another test of some kind to confirm the clot. Is this serious, something to be concerned about?
I hope you are seeing a pulmonary doctor make sure you don't sit around to much it's not good for your circulation If your legs are swollen see a vascular doctor and when your in bed elevate your legs with a couple of pillows keep us posted
Good luck

Thank you for you replies, I am not in the hospital and they have not done treatment yet on anything. Last week I had a Nuclear Lung Perfusion Test done. Made an appt. for tomorrow to talk to doctor on what to do. Thanks again, I really appreciate everything. Go figure this is just one of the things happening in my body, guess when it rains it pours :)

Very serious, yes!!! I hope you are writing this from a hospital bed using a lap top, clots in the lungs are nothing to play with and if your doctor has sent you home, he needs his head examined.
