Could my symptoms of leg swelling, visible veins when standing, occasional sharp chest pain on the left side, and upper stomach pain be signs of a serious complication or a side effect of my medication, Acitrom 2mg, which I take for a history of blood clots in my legs (DVT)?
Hello. I understand these symptoms can feel worrying, but I am here to help. Your leg swelling and visible veins are common after a DVT, but your new symptoms?specifically the sharp chest pain and upper stomach pain?require prompt medical evaluation. While taking your blood thinner, Acitrom (acenocoumarol), stomach pain can occasionally occur, but left-sided chest pain must always be checked immediately to rule out serious complications, such as a lung clot. Please seek immediate medical care or visit the nearest emergency room to ensure your safety. Your health is the priority, and getting evaluated will give you peace of mind.
