This week we cover another one of those hard-to-find monitoring pearls that are critical to patients.

1. Counselling Conundrum: a real question from a patient

2. Concise Conclusion: a straight-forward patient-friendly answer 

3. Quick Wrap-up 

 

Clearly, there are nuances that may not be captured in this format. The goal here is to provide you with helpful counselling tips which often draw from multiple sources or those which are not commonly accessed by busy healthcare providers serving the community.



Counselling Conundrum: "How long should I expect to feel the chest pain from the clot in my lung given that I'm taking treatment to get rid of it?"

 

Concise Conclusion: Great question! Unfortunately it can take several weeks or even months before the clot goes away. If you find your symptoms worsen or don't improve after 3 months, I would speak with your doctor.

 

Quick Wrap-up: This can be difficult to track down, but thankfully you will see monitoring time and guidance prominently displayed on our cue cards for anticoagulants. Unfortunately, some long-term discomfort can be there to stay as well.
