The cause is usually a <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/bloodclots.html'>blood clot</a> in the leg called a <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/deepveinthrombosis.html'>deep vein thrombosis</a> that breaks loose and travels through the bloodstream to the lung. Pulmonary embolism is a serious condition that can cause</p> <ul> <li>Permanent damage to the affected lung </li> <li>Low oxygen levels in your blood </li> <li>Damage to other organs in your body from not getting enough oxygen </li> </ul> <p>If a clot is large, or if there are many clots, pulmonary embolism can cause death. </p> <p>Half the people who have pulmonary embolism have no symptoms. If you do have symptoms, they can include shortness of breath, chest pain or coughing up blood. Symptoms of a blood clot include warmth, swelling, pain, tenderness and redness of the leg. The goal of treatment is to break up clots and help keep other clots from forming. </p> <p >NIH: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute</p>
