Hi, I had prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide and was hospitalized for three months. During that time I developed dvts in both legs at that time I was given heparin which I had a severe allergic reaction which caused my entire body swell up. They then warfarin which I was on for over ten months. Now Im on a low dose of aspirin. My question is I still clot really fast and my hemotologist doesnt know why. So I would like to possibly know the reason why I clot fast. Thank You
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have fast blood clotting, and it is the reason for your deep vein thrombosis.  Some people have genetic disorder that leads to fast clotting.  Protein c or protein s deficiency or high homocysteine level etc. may be responsible for fast clotting.  You should go for thrombophilia profile.  It will give the exact genetic disorder for fast clotting.  Continue with your medicine and consult your doctor and investigate for that. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
