Pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary embolism is a serious medical condition that can be life-threatening if left untreated. It occurs when a blood clot forms in the lungs, which can cause severe pain, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. The most common risk factors for Pulmonary embolism include long periods of sitting or standing, traveling long distances, smoking, and certain medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or cancer. Other factors that can contribute to the development of Pulmonary embolism include physical activity, alcohol consumption, and certain medications. If you experience any symptoms of Pulmonary embolism, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Treatment typically involves the use of blood thinners, which can help dissolve the blood clot and restore blood flow to the affected lung.
