What is a suspected pulmonary embolism? |
what would the symotons include ?does any1 know? Pulmonary embolism is when a blood clot enters the arteries of your lungs. These blood clots usually come from a vein somewhere else in your body, most commonly the legs. When a person has blood clotting problems, has a sedentary lifestyle, or had been immobilized for a long time (such as from a long drive, long airplane ride, or being bed-ridden due to illness or surgery), he/she is predisposed to blood clots that form in the vein of his/her leg from lack of flow/slow blood flow through the veins of the legs. If this clot (or part of it) gets dislodged, it goes up to the heart, and the heart pumps it out to your lungs. This blood clot then gets caught in one of the arteries that supply blood to your lungs. When this happens, the person has problems breathing and the affected part of the lung could die from lack of circulation. It is treated with anticoagulants like warfarin/coumadin or heparin, or with surgical removal of the clot. blood clot in lungs Its a blood clot[embolism] in the lungs[pulmonary] a blot clot in your lung It means they suspect a blood clot on the lung An embolism is a blood clot or blockage in general, pulmonary is lung.
