I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolus in my left lung post-operatively (gall bladder removal) last November. Since then, I have been taking Xarelto and continue to experience intermittent chest pressure and shortness of breath. My cardiologist does not believe these symptoms are due to heart problems, and my pulmonologist feels they will abate. Is it possible that I have more blood clots, and what further tests or actions should my physicians consider?

My left big toe nail is falling off. I have type 2 diabetes. I have not used any medication for this and have only soaked it in Epsom salts. It is not infected and there is no pain. What should I do until I can see my podiatrist on Monday?

My sister had an abortion with two different pills about 2 weeks ago given to her by a health practitioner. The pregnancy wasn't up to a month. She experienced bleeding for about 5 days and then it was every two days. But for the past 2 days, the bleeding has been much in quantity and she is really confused. What could be causing this and what should she do?
