What are the symptoms of having a blood clot in the lung?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

The common signs and symptoms of having a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism) include:

• Shortness of breath that appears suddenly and worsens with exertion.

• Chest pain that worsens when you breathe deeply, cough, eat, bend or stoop.

• Cough might be associated with bloody or blood-tinged sputum.

• Other signs and symptoms that can occur with pulmonary embolism are:
• • Clammy or discolored skin (cyanosis).
  • Leg pain or swelling or both.
  • Excessive sweating.
  • Rapid or irregular heartbeat.
  • Lightheadedness or dizziness.
  In case of any of these symptoms, consult a cardiologist.

Thank you.
