shortness of breath with exertion
hello everyone!
this is my first time posting. i joined this club about a month ago on Labor Day when i fell and fractured my right foot. being put in a walking boot plus a long 8 hour road trip home several days later, i was diagnosed with a DVT shortly thereafter. i have since been on eliquis. last week, i started to have shortness of breath on exertion, mainly with bending down which got worse and ended up at the ER again. after a ct scan with contrast, they ruled out a PE. however, i continue to have the SOB with exertion. i have a cardio follow up in 2 weeks which is that the ER recommended, but what do i do before then. i do have asthma too and have been using my inhalers, but i know my asthma and this is different.
