Hi, dont worry. This problem can be managed and you should not worry about your life. Firstly, if you have DVT then you will develop collateral veins around it so that blood return to the heart is maintained. You might be having visible veins on your abdomen which are already carrying blood back and taking up the job of the thrombosed IVC. Secondly, dyspnea on exertion is a serious problem as it points towards Pulmonary embolism(PE) and you should consult your Physician or Cardiologist immediately as you might be in the window period where they can thrombolyse you if PE is confirmed. If not, then well and good. Are you on oral or parenteral anti-coagulants for your DVT? Have you got your Thrombophilia profile done? These are questions I would like to know answers to to guide you best further. Do let me know and take care.
