Am I at risk of dying from a pulmonary embolism?
Asked by Male, 44 · 2 months ago
While a pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening, your risk of death is much lower if it is diagnosed early and treated promptly with anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medication. With proper treatment and regular follow-up, most people recover fully and go on to live a normal life.

Understanding Dabigatran:
- Dabigatran is an anticoagulant that helps prevent blood clots, including pulmonary embolism (PE).
Risk Factors:
- While Dabigatran reduces the risk of PE, factors like adherence to medication, underlying health conditions, and lifestyle can influence risk.
Medication Adherence:
- Ensure you take Dabigatran as prescribed. Missing doses can increase the risk of clot formation.
Monitoring and Medical Attention:
- Regular check-ups are crucial. Seek immediate medical help if you experience symptoms like sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, or coughing up blood.
