Hi welcome to the Chat Doctor You are diagnosed with pulmonary embolism for which you might have given low molecular weight heparin during hospital stay.... Here gradually symptom will improve after clot dissolution... After heparin, maintenance oral anticoagulant Chat Doctor. . PT and d dimer monitoring should be done... If symptoms doesn't improve than CT angiography or echocardiography done for further work up to detect any residual clot Take care Consult only cardiologist or pulmonologist for further discussion and examination
