On January 30th, I received Heparin, Lovenox, and Coumadin for a submassive saddle clot in the lungs and a DVT in the right leg. I am on 10 mg Warfarin/Day for 2 months so far. I thought I had an asthma attack that would not resolve. I also had lower back pain. I did have a knee scope in December. I had no visible signs of a PE until I had abnormal EKGs when admitted in the hospital. A CT scan confirmed it.
