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.
I get a pain between my shoulder blades. Not all the time, not very sharp; but it's there. More so when I do a little more. Or have a long day. Anybody else get the pain in the shoulder blades. The day I collapsed the sharp pain was in the front in my chest and I haven't had that since. But this pain started the next day in the hospital...goes away...then returns. Like I said, when I do a little more.

I always have that. For me, it's from muscle tension. Also, when I had my PE, I had upper right back discomfort, and occasionally, I still have that, even though my PE was 4 years ago.

I get pain between my shoulder blades along my spine. Only got it after the PEs and I usually only when I've been pushing too hard. I take it easy and it goes away.

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.
