Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary embolism is a clot in one of the pulmonary arteries in your lungs. In most cases, pulmonary occlusion is caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from deep veins in the legs or, rarely, from veins in other parts of the body (deep vein thrombosis).

Because the clots block blood move to the lungs, pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening. However, prompt treatment greatly reduces the fear of death. Taking measures to prevent blood clots in your legs will help save you against pulmonary embolism.

Pulmonary embolism symptoms can differ greatly, turn on on how much of your lung is complicated, the size of the clots, and whether you have underlying lung or heart disease.

Pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening. Seek urgent medical attention if you experience unexplained shortness of breath, chest pain or a cough that produces bloody sputum.
