Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. How is pulmonary embolism treated?Doctor's answer:
Pulmonary embolism is a serious respiratory disease. Patients mainly show symptoms such as difficulty breathing, chest pain. In severe cases, symptoms may include bloody stools, respiratory failure, or heart failure. If not treated promptly, it may endanger the patient's life. Currently, surgical intervention is available for treatment. If a quick effect is desired, surgery is the necessary option, but the cost may be relatively high. Other methods, although less expensive, may not be as effective.
