A member asked:
Sob, occasional chest pain, being evaluated by gp. ox %100, bp/heart rate great. many tests. worry about pe and go to er or wait for cardio apt monday?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Our General advice : Is for people to go to the er for any worsening symptoms. U have history of anxiety which can cause your symptoms. Be aware that pe occurs in people with risk factors- clot in legs , sedentary lifestyle, history of long travel, surgery, estrogen use, clotting factor defects etc.Typical pe presents with low oxygen saturation but anything is possible. Hope everything goes well with u!
