Father died of a pulmonary embolism when I was 16. Weeks of symptoms difficult to diagnose. Then one night adios.
I am sorry to read this.
I had a PE a few years ago and it almost killed me.
Very little symptoms for days. Just like I had some gas that wouldnt go away.
Spit up a tiny amount of blood the day before and the day it happened.
Not much at all.
The night it happened I felt like shit for a few hours with pain in my side, then it kicked in at full blast.
Took maybe 20 minutes to get to the ER and by then I trouble breathing.
Even the ER doc didnt think it was a PE when he saw me the first time. Wanted to send me home.
But my wife (nurse) refused before I had a cat scan.
