Brief Answer:
Get done CT Pulmonary angiography.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.

In my opinion, we should rule out Pulmonary embolism in your case.
You are having deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and DVT is most common cause for Pulmonary embolism (PE).

PE can be the cause for your breathlessness.

So first get done CT Pulmonary angiography.
It will diagnose if PE is present or not.

Please let me know
1. Have you investigated for PE?
2. Do you have chest pain?

Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better.

I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
