Blood clots

My treatment ended July 2025. During treatment I had both a DVT and pulmonary embolism and had to inject anticoagulants through to November 2025.

i thought that was the end of it but today I had to go to A&E where they found I had both again.

Just wondering if anyone else has an ongoing problem with blood clots and what your doctors are doing for it.

  • I had a single PE about 3 yrs ago and after a course of dalteparin  injections was bridged to Apixaban 5mg twice a day which I will be on for life due to my higher risks if getting more clots. 

  • A&E gave me a 5 day supply of Inhixa. I presume it’s up to my GP to assess what I should do going forward?

  • Yes most likely. My oncology team prescribed the apixaban initially then wrote to my gp and asked them to take on the prescription. I have an annual review by the surgery pharmacist but my oncology team have always advised me to stay on it because blood clots are a side effect of my maintenance treatment. So the gp surgery accepts that. Make sure to get your prescription renewed before the 5 day supply runs out. Its important to maintain the levels in your blood.
