Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary embolism is a condition in which a blood clot travels to the lungs and obstructs blood flow, potentially leading to serious complications. The primary cause is deep vein thrombosis (DVT), although other factors such as air bubbles, fat droplets, or foreign objects can also contribute. Symptoms of pulmonary embolism include sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, and coughing up blood, along with rapid heartbeat, lightheadedness, and sweating.

Treatment for pulmonary embolism typically involves medications such as anticoagulants to dissolve blood clots and prevent further clotting, as well as thrombolytic drugs to break up clots obstructing blood flow. Prevention strategies include maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet, avoiding prolonged periods of sitting or standing, and undergoing regular medical check-ups to identify and manage risk factors for pulmonary embolism. Early detection and appropriate treatment are essential for managing this potentially life-threatening condition.
