A member asked:

After pulmonary embolism, does avoiding supine position (which causes poor oxygenation) help prevent pulmonary infarction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Supine position will not affect the outcome of pulmonary embolism. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
