Pulmonary Embolism Support Group
By far the most common form of pulmonary embolism is a thromboembolism, which occurs when a blood clot, generally a venous thrombus, becomes dislodged from its site of formation and embolizes to the arterial blood supply of one of the lungs. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, pain during breathing, and more rarely circulatory instability and death.
Coughing today and my chest hurts so I go straight to, "Is it another PE?" Realized I sound like Ben Stiller in Zoolander. Decided I now belong to the Sensitive Groups that are affected by Level Orange Ozone Days. This does not match my self image. :-(

Look at what my best friend did with my picture!

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
I'm a cougher anyway. I just always have sinus stuff and allergies or acid reflux or something, even before the PE. But I do cough more since the PE especially in the cold and in hot weather.
You should change your name to Blue Steel.
But I know what you mean about physical limitations not matching up with your own self-image. In my mind, I'm strong and fit and able - but put me through a half hour aerobic routine and, well, I can't make it through a half hour aerobic routine, who am I kidding! And really, we've got to do something about Level Orange Ozone Days - it's not good for ANYONE to live in polluted air; we'll eventually all have compromised lungs.
A pea plant! That is so bizarre!
