Hi,My partner who is 27 has problems with his blood. He has suffered 2 blood clots (dvt and PE) and hasnt been taking his medication as needed. He is currently suffering from pains in his back as he did just before he has his PE. Could you give some advice to as if you think he is developing another blood clot.
Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. A PE is a blood clot in the blood vessels in the lung and a DVT is a blood clot that most commonly occurs in the leg. Symptoms of both can be subtle and may be confused with other medical conditions and vary from no symptoms whatsoever, to severe, depending on how big the clot is.PE can be presents as backache. Other symptoms are Chest pain, particularly when taking a deep breath in, Shortness of breath and Unexplained cough. I advise you to consult your treating doctor and start his medicine earliest. You should strictly follow your doctor prescription and advised blood test specially PT INR. Do not waste time and consult you doctor. Thanx.
