I have been diagnosed with covid 19.Though there are no more fever,diarrhea,vomiting now.But I am suffering from severe chest pain,chest tightness and breathing problem.I am on mechanical oxygen support in my home.But my PT and D-Dimer plasma came significantly high.The report says it can be due to pulmonary embolism.As my symptoms like excessive sweating for last 2months,leg cramps and little bit swelling sometimes are there we are seriously worried about it.Though my chest x ray shows clear.But we saw that chest x rays may appear normal as it cant diagnose PE.Can you please suggest what to do?And if it is PE then what will b next?
