Hi, The chronic consumption of opioids has a well documented increase in risk factor for pulmonary embolism raised with age and other comorbid issues like smoking, obesity or other factors. The cutting down of the dose of opioid is mainly for your health benefit and the management of PE requires anti-coagulant medication on a regular basis with PT INR maintenance. Hope I have answered your query. Feel free to post further doubts. Thank you.
