PE - Pulmonary Embolism is caused by part of a Deep Vein
thrombosis travelling from the leg to the lungs. This can lead
to a partial or complete lung obstruction. Onset of a pulmonary
embolism can be sudden, with symptoms of shortness of breath, a
fast heart beat, chest pain, or a blue tinge to the fingers,
toes or lips. Immediate medical assistance is necessary.
