What Causes A Sore Feeling After A Pulmonary Embolism In Lung?
Three years ago, I had a pulmonary embolism on my lung. It was treated with Herceptin (sp) and warfarin tablets. After the treatments ended, I felt something travel from the location of the embolism to the side of my left chest . every so often I feel a soreness in the area of my upper left side, then the soreness goes away for a long time and then the area will be sore again, My dr says my heart is working fine, do I have a problem here

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done CT PULMONARY ANGIOGRAPHY to rule out worsening of embolism and development of pulmonary infarction.
As sore feelings in chest can be due to pulmonary infarction. So we need to rule out this first. So pulmonary angiography is needed.
If this is normal than no need to worry much.
This can be due to anxiety. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
