A pulmonary embolism is a condition that occurs when the pulmonary artery becomes blocked. In most cases, the blockage is caused by blood clots that originate in the legs or arms and then travel to the pulmonary artery, which is located by the lungs. Although pulmonary embolisms are not necessarily fatal, the number of deaths they cause is increasing, and they are already the leading cause of hospital deaths.
Pulmonary embolisms can vary greatly depending on the amount of blockage and its location in the body, but common symptoms include:
Sudden shortness of breath
Chest pain
Coughing up blood or blood-spotted mucus
Rapid heartbeat
Wheezing
Leg swelling
Clammy skin
Excessive sweating
Anxiety
Weak pulse
Lightheadedness and fainting
Fever
If you experience any of these symptoms, you may be suffering from a pulmonary embolism. Doctors are trained to recognize these symptoms and make the proper diagnosis. If they fail to diagnose a pulmonary embolism, their negligence can lead to a heart attack or even death. This kind of negligence could certainly give rise to a valid medical malpractice lawsuit.
