Hi.
I was diagnosed with bilateral blood clots in both my lungs last December 2017. I was put on Xarelto for 6 months. I just came off of it in June.
I originally went to the doctor for chest pain that I get almost daily, he ordered a D-dimer test and from there I was told about the blood clots in my lungs - ended up being from my birth control.
I am now off the blood thinners and am having chest pains again.. always on the left side right above my heart.
It feels as if someone is taking a metal pipe and angling at 45° and ramming it into my heart/chest area. Like hard pressure.. I don't know how else to explain it. It gets worse when I inhale, especially if I take deep breaths.
I got another d-dimer test done and it came back negative.
Any ideas?
