Can pulmonary embolism cause eye infections and can it be cause by smoking methanphedmines
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood clots: Pulmonary embolism is a blood clot that starts in veins (usually leg veins) and gets caught up in the blood stream, carried thru the heart to the pulmonary arteries. This does not cause eye infection. It is not directly caused by smoking metamphetamines, but if after such smoking a person remains bedridden or similarly inactive for an extended period of time this could increase risk of leg clots.
