Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I read your query and understood your concern.
From what you are saying you have a high risk to develop pulmonary embolism.
So i suggest to consult a pneumologist and to perform all the necessary test for proper treatment.
I recommend to perform:
- Full blood and biochemical analysis
- Chest x ray
- Angio pulmonary CT
- Legs ultrasound
All the best!
