A member asked:

I am borderline positive for blood clot in my lungs what does it mean?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Confirmation: Either you have or do not have blood clots. Thus if you have symptoms compatible with blood clots in the lungs, then further studies will be needed and the source of the blood clots be found because the consequence from a major embolism can be fatal. If you have been bedridden for days or weeks, look for clots from the legs.
