What immediate steps should we take for my 68-year-old mother who completed a 10-day course of Eliquis after recovering from COVID-19, but is now experiencing chest heaviness, a low oxygen level of 92%, a fast heart rate of 120, and a rising blood clot test (D-dimer) level of 1.08?

Please take your mother to the nearest emergency room immediately. Her symptoms?chest heaviness, a heart rate of 120, oxygen levels at 92%, and an elevated D-dimer after finishing her apixaban (Eliquis)?require urgent medical evaluation. These signs could suggest a recurring blood clot or cardiovascular issue post-COVID-19. While this is understandably worrying, please stay calm; emergency doctors are well-equipped to quickly run tests, like a chest scan, and safely restart blood thinners or provide oxygen if needed. Do not administer any leftover medication or wait for an outpatient appointment.
