Can you please explain why a pulmonary embolism is bad for you?

Several: Means there are/ were thrombi-clots in one's veins that have come loose and migrated to the lung or both lungs. That can cause lung injury, heart stress, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary infarction, and or sudden death. Arrythmias can also occur from these stresses.
