Pulmonary Embolism
PE, Blood Clot in Lungs
A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage in one of the arteries in the lungs, usually caused by a blood clot that has traveled from the legs (deep vein thrombosis). The clot prevents normal blood flow, which can lower oxygen levels and strain the heart. Symptoms may include sudden shortness of breath, chest pain that worsens with deep breaths, rapid heartbeat, coughing (sometimes with blood), or fainting. PE can be life-threatening if not treated quickly with blood thinners or other urgent therapies. With prompt treatment, most people recover, but some may develop long-term lung or heart complications.
