I was diagnosed with Pulmanary Embolism's Bilaterlly in both lungs. I was hospitalized for a week.

I saw my pulmanologist yesterday and he said my cat scan shows that my lymph nodes in my lungs are enlarged. He also said I'm so winded because my right side of my heart is not getting enough blood flow to it. My grandmother died of lung cancer and my mother had to have her left lung removed because of lung cancer.

I get wiped out just sweeping the house. Walking down the hall 50 feet. I had some time before my appt. yesterday so I thought I would stop at the mall and look around. Couldn't do it. Just walking into the mall tired me out and when I got in the mall and walked down the hall a little bit I knew I couldn't get to the store I wanted to go to. So frustrating because this mall and my Dr.'s are 1 1/2 hours away from me.

I started at 2mg of Coumadin and now I'm up to 8. I also take heprin 2xday by injection. They can't get my coumadin levels to come up. My iron is at a 6, My hemoglobin is at a 28. I see a hemotologist on Friday.

Does anybody have any insite for me?
