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.
back to the cardiologist tomorrow for the rest of my test results from the 3 month poke and prod. i know it cant be too bad or they'd have called me and told me to come in by now instead of my regular appointment.
i need some good news, ive felt like absolute garbage the last few days.

Are you sure you haven't felt like "deep fried ass"??? hehehe (I'm sorry- I just can't resist...you wrote that in another post and I looked like a complete goof here at work laughing like a loon!)
Hope you get good news!
everything seems to be ok. they were happy with my bloodwork, venous doppler was clear (found that out the day of the test), and the CT showed resolution of a good percentage of both PE's. besides the two big ones he said theres a good bit of fuzzy spots where they cant really image it strong enough to definitively show that its another embolus, but that it could either be smaller clots where its breaking up, or it could be some VERY light scarring.
i figure if i get out of this with a little light scarring thats nto going to affect my quality of life, im good.
