I've been prescribed Heparin Sod/d5w 25000u Inj, 500ml for a recent DVT diagnosis, and I'm honestly terrified of the potential side effects. I've read the list, and it's a bit overwhelming. Has anyone else experienced any of these side effects, especially the more serious ones? I'm particularly worried about signs of bleeding and the neurological symptoms. My doctor assured me that serious side effects are rare, but I can't shake the anxiety. Can anyone share their experience with this medication or offer any advice on managing this situation?
