Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
I understand your concern and would explain that considering the repeated lung infarction, it is important taking anticoagulation therapy (warfarin) in order to prevent future episodes of pulmonary embolism.
I would also recommend performing a Doppler ultrasound of the leg veins in order to investigate for possible varicous veins and treat them if present.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing good health,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
