Pulmonary Embolism & DVT

Pulmonary embolism

A pulmonary embolism is when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel in your lungs. It can be life-threatening if not treated quickly.

Symptoms of a pulmonary embolism include:

• difficulty breathing that comes on suddenly

• chest pain that's worse when you breathe in

• coughing up blood

You may also have pain, redness and swelling in one of your legs (usually the calf). These are symptoms of a blood clot, also called DVT (deep vein thrombosis).
