HELLO BARBARA, Please try not to worry about blood clots if you can move
about and pump the blood about,as to the symptoms i had first of all a
very sharp pain in my left shoulder, then sharp pain in the chest and
very hard to breath. After some X-rays of my lungs, ( if you joined the
dots together made a nice butterfly picture) :-)) went on hepprin for
nine days then warfarin for life, so what just more tabs:-))

so please..please dont worry..

Best Wishes and Regards ROBERT...
