Does Warfarin Cause Shortness Of Breath?

YES i TAKE Warfarin to prevent another episode of a Pulmonary Embolism. When I had the PE i was extremely short of breath. I have had my lungs tested 4 months after recovery from the PE and i m told they are now free of any blood clots. However, I find I still get easily winded when walking. Is the WaRFARIN CAUSING or contributing to my shortness of breath?
