Can I drink alcohol if I have a blood clot in my lung?
Hello! I turned 21 about a month ago but haven't really gotten to drink. My mom told me she could drop off some alcohol for me, before work, if I wanted (I can't go out, as I'm high risk). I didn't ask my doctor if I could drink, as it wasn't on my mind at the moment. The doctors said it was smaller. I'm currently on 5 mg of Eliquis, I take one pill in the morning and one pill at night. I've been on the drug for about 4 months now, I have 6 more months to go. They're still not sure what caused the clot (I got it last year, in December, so it wasn't due to corona.) I was supposed to get some blood testing done but haven't gotten the chance to due to increasing cases of corona in my area, they think I might have this one gene that causes blood to clot easier. (I don't smoke, don't do drugs, and I'm not on bed-rest.) Do you think it would be okay for me to drink? If so, how much?
