Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Two years ago, I got tested for my whole body and blood. There are some dark circles that appear on my body, and I am getting treated regularly, but still, my blood has a problem.

I get PT and INR tests done regularly.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I understand from your post that you may have a blood-clotting tendency. Have you ever had pain or swelling in your calf muscle and difficulty breathing? You may be prone to blood clots in your lungs, which is called pulmonary embolism.

So, if you ever experience symptoms such as pain or swelling in your calf, difficulty or shortness of breath, or chest pain, you must seek immediate medical help and go to the emergency department.

It would be helpful to know a bit more about your symptoms and your general health now.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
