It often starts as <b>deep vein thrombosis<\/b> in the leg. This condition can be life-threatening if not treated quickly.<\/p>\n<p>The clot can stop blood flow to part of your lung. This may damage lung tissue and affect your heart health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What are the most common symptoms of pulmonary embolism?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Key symptoms include sudden shortness of breath and sharp chest pain. You might also have a rapid or irregular heartbeat, or faint.<\/p>\n<p>Other signs are coughing up blood, sweating a lot, and fever. Leg swelling or pain can occur too. If you have these symptoms, get medical help right away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Who is at highest risk for developing a pulmonary embolism?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Risk factors include long periods of not moving and recent surgery. Cancer, heart disease, and genetic clotting disorders also increase risk.<\/p>\n<p>Pregnancy, hormone therapy, and obesity are other risk factors. People who sit for long periods are especially vulnerable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>How is a pulmonary embolism diagnosed?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Doctors use many tests to diagnose pulmonary embolism. These include chest X-rays, special scans, and blood tests.<\/p>\n<p>They may also use ultrasound to check for deep vein thrombosis. Heart function is evaluated with electrocardiograms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What are the primary treatment options for pulmonary embolism?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>The main treatment is blood thinners like warfarin and heparin. In severe cases, doctors might use clot-busting drugs or surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Your doctor will choose the best treatment for your specific condition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Can pulmonary embolism be prevented?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Yes, there are ways to prevent pulmonary embolism. Take blood thinners when recommended and wear compression stockings.<\/p>\n<p>Stay active and maintain a healthy weight. Avoid sitting still for long periods. High-risk patients may need special preventive measures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What complications can arise from an untreated pulmonary embolism?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Untreated pulmonary embolism can lead to serious heart and lung problems. It can cause high blood pressure in the lungs.<\/p>\n<p>About one-third of untreated cases can be fatal.
