Cor68 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I am wondering if you have any information on the Triptans causing blood clots... My husband had two huge blood clots in his lungs...they called him a walking miracle and extremely lucky guy....to be walking. They did a ton of tests 24 viles of blood and ultra sounds ect.....they can't figure out where they came from....but I know he has been taking this med for some time, although recently he has not taking as much as in the past...he still heavily relies on this med...especially when he is scared or can't sleep...any information on them causing blood clots...I have looked can't find much...

Pebblesthecorgi Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 No documented evidence of blood clots related to thrombotic (blood clots) or embolic activities related to Triptan's. In fact the cardiovascular evidence against Triptan's is pretty weak in general. At least in context of individuals who do not have cardiovascular disease. Blood clots or pulmonary embolism (blood clots traveling to the lungs) are often related to decreased activity (bed ridden), surgery especially in the pelvis or legs or connective tissue disease. Clots occurring without obvious risk factors are usually genetically predisposed. They can test for the ones we know about but we don't know everything. Sounds like your husband is a lucky guy. Pulmonary embolism is a nasty thing but in those that survive completely treatable. A good thing to follow directions precisely because treatment carries risk if not followed closely. Good luck.
