How long does shortness of breath, wheezing and crackles continue after having a pulmonary embolism and no treatment was given?

Pulmonary embolism: Pulmonary embolism is a medical emergency as it can cause right heart failure / respiratory arrest and death; and the etiology or site where the clot comes from can cause another embolism unless treated .Go today to ER to get treated .if it is a pulmonary embolism you need blood thinners for several months, at least . if it is asthma you need treatment as well if wheezing. GO TO ER NOW
