Could Problem In Sitting For Long Indicate Clot Formation?

Hi I was a pulmonary embolism and DVT patient last year..after my treatment in fortis delhi and months of taking medication (acitrom) , I just topped taking it as I was adviced by the cardiologist to stop after 6months (I have had numerous ct scans and was told in my final meeting i.e 3months after the incidence that I need to take acitrom with varying dosage depend on my iNR which had to be kept btw 2 and 3) . I am a student doing preparations at home and have to sit for 1 or 2 hours continuous (not any longer)but I have started some excersicing and walk sometimes.. ever since I have had the illness even 30 minutes of sitting on a cushioned chair becomes problematic on my bottom (right buttock more often) and I would have to do stretching time and again.Now after stopping the medication and continuing witb the trend of sitting for 1 or 2 hour daily with exercising and stretching, during brisk walking my right thigh gets exhausted easily and I feel a temporary soreness , just like after a strenuous exercise..but it goes away on resting.So my question is, has the clot formed again? On my own I have again started taking acitrom with ecosprin , as I am fed up of going to the doctor again spending thousands in mri and lakhs in treatment.Please help

Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
No, your symptoms are not suggestive of clot formation again.
So you should not take acitrom and ecosprin with out confirming.
Because these drugs can cause anticoagulant effect and this can lead to spontaneous internal bleeding.
This bleeding can be life threatening.
So you should not take acitrom and ecosprin with out reports.
Your current problem is mostly due to spine related cause due to prolonged sitting.
Prolonged sitting in bad posture can cause spine problems and similar symptoms.
So consult orthopaedic doctor for this.
Stop acitrom and ecosprin.
