I have been diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism in my left lung 6 days ago. Onset of symptoms 6.5 days ago. I ve been prescribed xarelto 15 mg 2x a day. On day 3 I coughed out a blood chunk, did the same on day 4. Since then I ve had raspy breathing in left lung and cough out bloody mucus. Is this normal and how long will it last? And what can I do, activity, should I go to work, school live my normal life? I am a 52 yo male, non smoker, not obese not over weight, in good shape, no recent surgeries, no recent injuries, I don t live a sedentary lifestyle. The Drs. Are stumped. What could the cause be? What tests should I ask for? Thank you for your time.
