Clot stories - S3 Ep4 - Meet Nusaiba

I’m Nusaiba, at 20 I had a two pulmonary embolism 10 months apart while studying at university. It was devastating and impacted every aspect of my life, I was completely unaware of how difficult recovery can be and did not know anything about some of the unexpected side effects of blood thinners. Four years down the line, I have had to adjust to a new normal where life involves a lot of hospital appointments! As a young person with a clot I had to navigate recovery while finishing my degree and now working full time, while also trying to enjoy life as a young person! I hope by sharing my story both patients and clinicians will learn about the complexities of having blood clots and that recovery can be very hard but you will get better!
