A Pulmonary Embolism is a blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in your lungs. In most cases, pulmonary embolism is caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from the legs or, rarely, other parts of the body (deep vein thrombosis).
Because the clots block blood flow to the lungs, a pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening. However, prompt treatment greatly reduces the risk of death. Taking measures to prevent blood clots in your legs will help protect you against a pulmonary embolism.
Blood Thinners are anticoagulant medications that may be prescribed by your physician to treat a Pulmonary Embolism. This means it helps prevent clots from forming in the blood.
You’ve been prescribed blood thinners because your body may be making blood clots, or you may have a medical condition known to promote them. It’s often prescribed for folks with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm), Pulmonary Embolism (blockage of a major blood vessel in the lung), Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and after artificial heart valve surgery or an orthopedic procedure like hip replacement or other types of bone surgery.
Blood thinning medications or anticoagulants save lives because they treat or prevent potentially life-threatening blood clots. However, they also pose a possible and very serious side effect which is bleeding. Since blood thinners slow the clotting of blood, unwanted and sometimes dangerous bleeding can occur with the use of these medications – especially with a fall, a head injury or a traumatic accident.
Our Pulmonary Embolism medical alert bracelets, medical ID or necklaces are critically important and may save your life in an emergency situation. If you are ever hurt or injured – and not able to speak for yourself – our Pulmonary Embolism medical alert bracelets or medical ID may be the only way first responders or doctors know how to begin treating you. If you are taking blood thinners medical professionals need to know immediately.
