Back and chest pain normal post pe

I have been experiencing upper back pain. The pain hurts worse when I breathe in. The pain is so bad, I have to lay down and try to get relief. Is this normal? Some days the pain is worse in between my shoulder blades other days it is on my left blade. Also I still have chest pain and it radiates into my arm and shoulder. Any advice? Is it normal? I'm struggling at work because the pain is so bad. Help!!!

I had bilateral pes in November and have recently come off of my blood thinner and i still get chest pain sometimes.

If you have not been dignosed yet see your Dr never mess around with the unknown. Once you have been dignosed professionally then I will add to the discussion. Sorry

Well I was dx with two pe and heart infarction in Feb but just wasn't sure if this normal, the title says post pe, I have been dx.

I am 2yrs post bilateral PE's and still get chest and back pains most days, I can find nobody who can give a definite reason or offer any help or solutions. 

Hi I'm 6 weeks on clexane and still get chest pain everyday it freaks me out my anxiety is through the roof and I have panic attacks every day thinking I have another clot

I just got off apixban for a pe and im super scared of getting another one. I actually have to have an echocardiogram done next week to see if my heart strain fr9m the pe has fixed itself.

Good luck!! Prayers and don't worry!!

I had a heart echo last week came back normal but have to go for another one soon. Do you still get chest pain?

Ya ever sinve i started the asprin ive been having an electrical feeling in my heart so he wants to check the strain and why i have pain.

Anxiety and panic attacks can cause the symptoms. It has been since Oct 31 and I still get occasional chest pains but I also just gave up and decided to have faith in my Drs. I have heard from my contacts here that it is normal and I believe it's normal. The only thing fear was doing to me was making things worse. I just decided to take care of me and chill.

Just now I'm getting chest pain every day, do you take pain killers if so which ones help?

No pain killers just my baby aspirin a day and an alieve occasionally. I am on antidepressants and meds for anxiety. It doesn't hurt to come clean with the Dr and be truthful and get some help. They understand we get scared. It is a scary dignoses to have blood clots in our body. Call your Dr get some help they will understand!!
