Louise’s Story

I had Covid at the end of August 2023 and the flu vaccine on October 13th 2023. On the 28th of October 2023 I was diagnosed with a bilateral Pulmonary Embolism!


I had visited my doctor with sudden shortness of breath and was sent for an Xray, which was clear along with perfect blood pressure. My heart rate was normal and my oxygen level perfect, so I was sent home from hospital on a Tuesday. By Friday I couldn’t manage to walk up the stairs. I went back to my Doctor and was sent to hospital to rule out a clot. They did a d-dimer blood test and levels were very high. I was immediately sent for an angiogram also. My diagnosis was bilateral Pulmonary Embolism. Blood Clots in both my lungs. I was so lucky that I did not leave it any longer. Please listen to your body when u know something doesn’t feel right

❤️ Persist with your Doctor or go to A&E.
