Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should rule definitely rule out recurrence of pulmonary embolism (PE) in your mothers case. Her symptoms like chest pain, breathlessness starting after stopping warfarin is suggestive of pulmonary embolism more. So first get done D dimer and CT pulmonary angiography to rule out recurrence of PE. She may need thrombolytic therapy and long term oral anti coagulant treatment with warfarin. Don't worry, she will be alright but first rule out PE. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
