I WENT BACK TO THE ER
2019-05-14 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 14 min
Chantal (Foodie Beauty) explains why she returned to the emergency room after experiencing worsening chest pain and shortness of breath the night before. She recounts her recent diagnosis of multiple pulmonary emboli, recent treatment with warfarin, taking a CBD oil capsule, and the ER visit where vitals, ECG and chest x-ray were performed. Her INR was sub-therapeutic (1.7) so the ER doctor adjusted her warfarin dose and advised follow-up bloodwork; the thrombosis clinic later confirmed she had taken an incorrect dose previously. She emphasizes the need for rest while her body heals and plans quieter, at-home videos while recovering.
