Is there anyone on here that knows someone who has had a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) or know alot about them.
I know the classic symptoms are sudden chest pain, shortness of breath including rapid breathing and difficulty breathing.
I have had some bad chest pains since sunday thats why i had my ECG done yesterday wouldn't have thought anything bad was found otherwise i would have known.
I am slightly out of breath and i am worried that maybe i could have a small one in my lungs that could get bigger i worry even more because apparaently 70% of people with pulmonary embolism go undiagnosed and blame it on other things such as asthma etc i have asthma so if i had one they would probably say it was asthma causing it.
I wonder if you get sudden chest pain or chest pain which comes and goes like me, i am getting sharp pains in the middle of my chest not constantly but quite abit, but surely if i had a pulmonary embolism i would have very bad breathing difficutlies as well?
I am constantly feeling very tired and worn out as well.
I am also feeling very dizzy, had this for past 2 weeks, going to see doc next week to ask about this dizziness.
I would appreciate any advice and comments, thanks.
