i am a patient with dextrocardia and have a picc line ive already had it removed once after only having it 2 days due to a bloodclot. the bloodclot was found because i woke up with that side of my neck swollen and hurting. after an ultrasound it was found. ive had the new one in for 3 days now and lastnight my chest started feeling cold inside and my neck on the side that was swollen before started hurting again.
Welcome to Ask a doctor service , You should note that dextrocardia if tolerated well should be left as such. Second for clotting, take care of your smoking, alcohol, lipid profile, blood pressure and blood sugar level. If all ok then you need prophylactic Chat Doctor. I hope I have solved your query.
