Hard to say: The most common symptoms seen with pulmonary embolism (lung blood clot) are shortness of breath, cough, some chest pain, sometimes coughing up of blood, elevated temperature above 100.4, and sometimes swelling and pain in one of the lower legs. If you are experiencing any of those symptoms, go to the ER immediately for workup. You are very young to have this, but it can happen, albeit rarely.
