Shae | Blood Clot in Lung and Pregnant? |
Ok,So my sister is Pregnant and she was having trouble breathing so she just thought she was out of breath because of the baby but then her throat swelled up and her and stuff did and she went to the hospital for it and they gave her medicine but all she did was threw it up and it didnt work.
So last night she had to go to the hospital because she couldnt breath and when she got there her heart rate was way up higher than normal and the doctors couldnt figure out why
So they had a choice of running two test one being a cat scan and I think the other was a MRI
But They said that they are both harmful for the baby because of the radiation.
But they had to do one so they did a Cat scan.
Any ways They havent got the results back and Im very worried about my sister and the baby.
So my question is what are the risk of having a blood clot in the lungs?I heard if not taken care of it could get to her heart and is it deadly?
Thanks in advance. |

Don't worry too much, I doubt she has a blood clot in the lungs. As mentioned it would be very acute stabbing pain.
Usually a person gets a blood clot in the lung because they had a blood clot in the body, and when that breaks off it goes to the lung. If she had a DVT (deep vein thrombosis/ blood clot) that are sometimes caused by pregnancy she would have know it absolutely. It is extremely painful. Usually in the leg, it causes edema so bad that the leg balloons out like the person has elephantitis. Along with the edema, the nerves in the leg are so sensitive, a person will scream in pain at a slight touch.
Pulmonary Embolisms occur when these blood clots break off and travel to the lung.
I don't know what the risk of having a blood clot in the lungs is, but blood clots get to the lung from a cause and that cause is usually DVT and she doesnt have that you would know.
But its good that she is getting checked out, one can never be too careful when it comes to health. But try not to worry. There are lots of things that cause trouble breathing.
Also, if I couldnt breathe , I would be worried. That can cause the heartrate to go up. |

Sounds like she has had PE. A pulmonary embolism, it is a blood clot that breaks off and does to the lungs. About 25 percent of all PE are fatal. My father had one five years ago. Actually he had several, but thankfully they were all very small. He survived and today he is doing fine.
I had a DVT when I was 26 weeks along with my first child. Thankfully I got to the hospital in time before the clot broke off and went to the lung. I was on complete bed rest for a week. Then I went home and had twice daily Lovenox injections. They then switched me to Heparin at 36 weeks and I delivered at 38 weeks. My baby was perfectly healthy is is 4 now. I stayed on coumadin for 6 months. Now I am on daily baby aspirin.
The good new is if you sister survived the night then that is a good sign. More than likely she got to the hospital in time. With my situation I was having signs of clot (swollen thigh, redness, pain etc) and my on-call doctor told me to go to sleep as it was late and night and not to worry. Thankfully I ignored her advice and went to the ER. There they told me that I had gone to bed I might never have woken up. |

Pregnancy increases the risk of blood clots in the legs and the lungs. Shortness of breath, chest pain, increased heart rate, cough are all symptoms. They need immediate treatment with blood thinners/Heparin/Coumadin. Left untreated could be deadly. But if treated early and was not a very large clot then she should be fine with blood thinners for months or for life depending on risk factors. CT scan is very accurate but has radiation. Shield the fetus should be adequate specially after the first trimester. |
