Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, blood clots in lungs (Pulmonary embolism) are very dengerous.
Pulmonary embolism if not treated appropriately, it can lead to disability and death.
So better to consult pulmonologist and start treatment for PE.
You will need blood thinners and anti coagulants for PE.
So don't wait, start treatment as soon as possible.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
