Blood clot in lung
I had a clot in 2014 and now I am facing breathing issue while walking or small activity. Taking blood thinners but that is not helping. Non smoker and occasionally drinking. Looking for permanent solution. I know every doctor ask me to get CT pulmonary scan and complete blood analysis which is fine for me but I want to understand what would be the course of treatment afterwards. I don't want to live on blood thinners whole life.
