question: I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism in October. I am on warfarin and as of November 10th my clots are gone. It is believed to be a result of smoking and birth control. Here I am 3 months later and I still have pain in my chest. The initial doctor told me I had an infarction and the second er doctor told me I did not have an infarction but he did see some thickening of the lung tissue in my left lung where the large clot was. Is the mild pain in chest normal?
