[|Human|] I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism in October. I am on warfarin and as of November 10th my clots are gone. It is believed to be a result of smoking and birth control. Here I am 3 months later and I still have pain in my chest. The initial doctor told me I had an infarction and the second er doctor told me I did not have an infarction but he did see some thickening of the lung tissue in my left lung where the large clot was. Is the mild pain in chest normal?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Mild chest pain in pulmonary embolism patient is mostly due to infarction. Since you have rule out infarction, it is mostly due to local thickening of pleura at the area of embolism and infarction. So no need to worry much for this mild chest pain as you have ruled out Infarction. But if pain worsens then get done repeat CT pulmonary angiography to rule out relapse of embolism and Infarction. At present, no need to worry.
