Patient's question:
Over the past year and a half, my appetite has been poor, and I often have no appetite. My breathing is not smooth, and no matter how I sit, I feel stifled. I couldn't take it anymore, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. After the examination, the doctor confirmed it was chronic pulmonary embolism. How should chronic pulmonary embolism be treated? I would appreciate it if the doctor could give me many suggestions.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the risk level of chronic pulmonary embolism is still very high. Generally, it can easily cause multiple problems or functional decline in lung function. In such cases, it is necessary to quickly perform surgery to resolve the inflammation of the embolism and restore blood vessel patency. This can help minimize blockage and allow the pulmonary function affected by the embolism to recover, thereby as much as possible restoring the patient's normal working state.
