pulmonary embolism
"50 yr old male-Undiagnosed PE in left lung. Had always been VERY active in the gym ( weights etc). Been on Rivaroxaban for 3 months now and looking forward to getting off the medication in another 3 months as long as haematology results okay. I really notice I am on this drug with good and bad days but tiredness and lack of 'get up and go' is getting to me. I still go in the gym which I think helps actually (run 5 miles and then light weights 3 to 4 times a week). I do sometimes suffer headaches and blurred vision too. I just pray I am not on this for life and have empathy for those unfortunately who are!

       It is better to be alive though and there will be alternatives one day-stay strong and live life to the full!!"
