I am a healthy 28 year old female who recently had a pulmonary embolism. My blood tested positive for Lupus Anticoagulant. I am told this does not necessarily mean I have Lupus. I googled that online and it said something about HIV patients often having lupus antibodies! I know I don't have HIV but it still freaked me out! I have Hashimoto's Disease (hypothyroid) and have had that since age 13. My mother had Toxemia while pregnant and apparently that is linked to Lupus and Lupus antibodies have a genetic component. Also, I was recently put on high blood pressure meds (despite being a size 8 and excercising and eating right, my blood pressure is high) and right after I started taking the blood pressure meds I had the Pulmonary Embolism. I read that the BP meds they put me on can often cause Lupis Antibodies to "act up" if they are already there and dormant. Needless to say I am scared out of my mind. I see a hematologist on Monday but I am really, really worried
