7Lung Issues and Pulmonary Embolism
In some cases, thrombosis may affect your lungs. Blood clots in this organ cause many similar symptoms to those in other parts of the body. However, there are also some particular signs that involve the lungs. These include irregular or rapid heartbeat, painful breathing, shortness of breath, chest tightness or pain, excessive sweating, lightheadedness, or bloody cough. Thrombosis in the lungs tends to occur suddenly, so it is important to seek immediate emergency services to prevent possible complications. [9]
Pulmonary embolism is a serious complication of thrombosis. It occurs when the clot becomes large and enters the lungs. This stops the entire blood flow and leads to many serious issues. Even when small blots are formed, they can still affect the blood flow and cause tissue damage in your lungs. Without quick and proper treatments, it may lead to long-term complications. Therefore, make sure to seek immediate medical attention as soon as you notice warning signs. [10]
