Depends on details: Pulmonary embolism is a life threatening and a serious issue that should be treated immediately. However, many people live completely functional lives after treatment! discuss your situation with your doctor.

It depends: Why did they develop clots? What degree of lung involved? What limitations on lung function and breathing capacity? Pulmonologists can guide you.
