Pulmonary Embolism

[@cpandjr]

I could not breathe so I was rushed to a teaching hospital by ambulance. I had a battle with clots. A pulmonary embolism put me in cardiac arrest. I died. They were able to continue working on me for two and a half hours. I'm alive now because they did that. They actually got me back. They said it was a miracle. I am so thankful to the residents, nurses and doctors that saved me at St Joseph's. 🙏

Was in the hospital a week ago for this. I have 2. One on each side of lung. Only symptom was extreme shortness of breath. Out of no where. I was completely winded just by walking to the car from the restaurant. I'm 28yrs. Old. They started me on heparin, now I'm on blood thinners...thank God I have a chance to be home with my family. Please be safe yall

I’m 27 and got blood clots in both my lungs. So much pain breathing. They think it’s from my birth control. No clots in my legs

[@Courtneyshole1965]

Even now if I’m breathing I’ll suddenly catch my breath and it’ll take a few minutes for me to calm it back down

[@giridv7300]

Layman's doubt: the lung is a very large organ. There are so many bronchioles and alveoli. How does lodgement of a small clot create a crisis? Couldn't understand this.

[@shelleydaly1726]

Mine was a saddle, it settled across the two bronchial tubes and blocked 97% of the airway. I was on a heart monitor for a good week. It’s still hard to breathe sometimes

[@ALLOVERNYC]

Can it be removed? With so much technology and small robotics ,im surprised theres no cure and people still have breathing problems after leaving the hospital

[@shelleydaly1726]

@@ALLOVERNYC there are operations to remove clots and scar tissue from lungs. But it’s a very large and fiddly operation to do. There’s so many little arteries in the lungs. So many places for the damage to occur

[@Dillon-ux6it]

I just got out of Kaiser a couple weeks ago after the discovered PE in my lower right lung. I was pretty dismissive about the whole thing initially because I wasn't aware of the seriousness but soo grateful they caught it & was able to administer Heparin IV for a few days before I was released with heavy RX of anticoagulants. On the road to recovery now but still pretty rattled from the suddenness of the experience.

[@ShyamAndBillie]

Thats what happened to me, doctors initially thought I have stones or something, my cousin is a owmer of medical testing facility. So he had my whole body examed. Results were promising, kidneys, pamcreas, liver, heart were all more than fine, they were perfect (even though Im an alcoholic!) But things took a turn when I had my first ct scan. I had complete blockage in the pulmonary arteries of my left lung. Rushed to the doctor, he told me that if I was a few days late, i would have been dead. The moral of the story is, this happened to me because my father had it and he died because of it. Doctor told me that if one of the parent has this its a 90% chance that the child will be affected.
