I'm Diagnosed With PE.What Causes Shortness Of Breath,high Heart Beat And High Temperature?

Hi,

In May 2011 I had a PE, was on Coumidin for 6mths, off now.. Last night I had shortness of breath, heart rate 135 and POx 93% temp 102.7, felt really bad. This morning I felt better came to work but now if I take a deep breath it feels funny in my throat. Could another blood clot have hit my lung and everything be back to normal the next day?

Possible but unlikely the symptoms would completely go away that quickly by themselves. You should get a venous ultrasound of the legs, as this is where these clots usually come from.
