A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a medical emergency that requires immediate and expert attention. It occurs when a blood clot travels to the lungs, blocking one or more pulmonary arteries. Symptoms may include sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or coughing up blood—though in some cases, it may be silent until it becomes severe. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are critical to prevent complications such as lung damage, low oxygen levels, or even cardiac arrest. A qualified physician will begin with clinical assessment, imaging tests like CT pulmonary angiography, and blood tests like D-dimer to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment typically involves anticoagulant (blood thinning) medications, and in more serious cases, thrombolytics or surgical interventions may be necessary. Long-term follow-up is essential to prevent recurrence and manage underlying risk factors like deep vein thrombosis, immobility, or clotting disorders. Preventive care and education are also important for patients at risk. If you've experienced unexplained chest pain or breathlessness, don’t delay a checkup. Every minute counts with PE.
