Hi everyone
I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism approximately 6 years ago, post international flight. I was told it was only very small and I was put on blood thinners for 3 months. In my post exam I was told I am all clear by my GP, but without any further tests (xray, MRI).
I am 51, very healthy and fit; no smoker, very moderate drinker. I have never felt my lungs to be different post PE.
Have snorkelled a lot and just wanted to do a dive recently, when I remembered that I better get a medical prior to diving.
Has anyone had experience with this?? What does it require for me to get cleared (hopefully without breaking the bank..). I have medical records that can be released to the diving Dr, but need to know which steps to take first…
Thank you for your help.
