 So it's been 2 months since my clotting episode. I am tired of going to the ER (I've been about 3 times since I was released from the hospital).

 The thing is I keep feeling like I'm having trouble breathing. I bought a blood pressure checker so I can take my blood pressure and pulse at home...I know if you are thowing a big clot your pressure generally goes way down.

 I've been feeling a bit short of breath since last night--no real pain. I have an IVC filter,but my INR was 1.6 last check ( a few days ago). I feel like an idiot if I go back to the ER for another CT scan of my chest. My blood pressure is OK..about 106/75. (I run low anyway). I don't know what to do. I met my deductible with insurance, so it's not the cost factor. I just don't want to live like this---thinking I can't breathe all the time and going to the ER. ;-(
