Hi yeah try not to look up too much stuff on mine because a lot of it is worse case scenario stuff. The good news is they caught it and you are being treated. That’s really all you can do- let your body just naturally recover, take your meds, etc.

There is no real speeding up the process but I would suggest that when your doctor gives you the ok to start being active, which shouldn’t be too long (ask him/her) try to start slowly going for walks, light activity etc. I personally think that helps.

You may experience some chest aches and wheezing or coughing. Pretty standard after a PE. Call your doctor if concerned and try to manage the anxiety. That anxiety is pretty common.

Try to remind yourself you are ok!

Hi I agree with rmb, it's great that yours is small which means that you shouldn't have very much lung damage and will probably recover quickly. The mental side of suddenly realizing your fragility may be the toughest part. Just keep hydrated, make a conscious effort to move around and stretch every hour or two and away you go. And talk to your doctor about whether you need to change your birth control method if you're female or if compression socks would be a good idea as a preventative.
