Should I have had a transfusion

Hi Everyone

I haven't been in the forums for a while, I have had a terrible time of it lately. I have just gotten better from the DVT and pulmonary embolisms in both lungs from Oct and was in hospital this week with internal bleeding.

Normally my hb is around 100 the lowest it has dropped is 91. On Sunday when I went to hospital it was 103 by Wednesday it dropped to 81. I was discharged on the Friday with a hb of 80 and they didn't think I needed a transfusion, even though I am still bleeding (not as much as before) and have put me back on my blood thinners.

Should I be worried about not having a transfusion under the circumstances?

Thanks

Honey
