Love this! My patients at my job go through this all the time and now I understand why the MD orders Venous Dopplers and CTA angiograms to rule out P.E thank you!! 😊
Not all DVT’s can be ruled out by scans. I had a DVT in my left leg (for clarity, it was not on my lung, therefore not a Pulmonary Embolism) for three months before it was correctly diagnosed after the third ultrasound, but by then it had caused catastrophic damage to two truncal veins and four perforators. I had to pay to have the correct procedures carried out at a specialist vein in clinic in London. Since having EVLT together with Transluminal Occlusion of Perforators followed after eight weeks with Ultrasound Foam Guided Sclerotherapy. I haven’t looked back since 2018. Incidentally, my blood clot was caused through the contraceptive pill, even though I was and still am an extremely fit, slim and athletic runner.
@@eveoakley6270is that means you're diagnosed with PE? How long for U to get discharged from hospitalised and get better (fit to run your daily life as before)?
@@tutorwani-nq2my I absolutely was NOT diagnosed with a Pulmonary Embolism. Nothing to do with my lungs. I developed a DVT at the age of only 36 through the Contraceptive Pill. I was never in hospital because once a blood clot in the leg is diagnosed it is easily treated with blood thinners for three months, and job done. I was fit to go on with my daily life the very next day after it was diagnosed. What a lot of people do not realise is that 40% of people who have a blood clot on the leg go on to develop Thrombotic Syndrome, which is invisible varicose veins, which cause venous leg ulcers, and is what happened to me 14 years afterwards. Incidentally, I was and still am an extremely athletic runner. I will reiterate: I stated that I developed a DVT (blood clot) on my leg, not on my lungs.
@@tutorwani-nq2my I have already responded to you, but it seems the YT commandants have deleted it. For the second time, I did not have a Pulmonary Embolism, I developed a DVT (blood clot) on my left leg. A PE is a blood clot on the lung, not the leg. I did not need to be hospitalised and I resumed normal life immediately because a DVT is easily treated once diagnosed.
Anticoagulant treatment should always be followed by an Endovenous Duplex Vein Mapping Scan to identify any damaged veins and perforators to prevent Thrombotic Syndrome. This is a huge problem which most are unaware of.
