I had pe last week, and I was wondering how long the convalescence should be. I was in the hopsital emergency room for 2 days and as soon as the blood clot was gone, they told me to go home and didn't give me any time off from work. I took Monday off and today I tried going to work but ended finishing the day at lunchtime, I was so exhausted that I slept all afternoon afterwards. Is this normal? Has anyone every had PE?

Good grief! I have two jobs and I was told that I couldn't go back for 10 days to the (physically) easier one, and six weeks before they let me return to the more strenuous one! Their biggest concern being that, if even if it is a small chance that there is another clot, they didn't want it dislodging from wherever it's at and traveling somewhere else. Did they figure out what was the source of your clot? I.e. recent surgery, some medication, etc... With myself and the others that I know who've had them, the doctors were pretty bent on figuring out the cause before they let me to far out of their sights! I really hope that you go see another doctor!
Any how.... to actually answer you question, I think that it's very normal that your exhausted! For me I think that it was nearly three weeks before I felt completely normal doing simple daily tasks. It's been about 2 1/2 mo. now since I had mine, and I'm still not quite up to par when it comes to doing the most strenuous exercises as in 8 or 9 mi. hikes, but I'm almost there!
