Arora's Assessment
What might be happening
Based on the information you've provided, you're experiencing several symptoms that could indicate a serious condition. Given your history of pulmonary embolisms and deep vein thrombosis, your current symptoms of chest pain, difficulty breathing, and vomiting could potentially indicate another pulmonary embolism. This is a condition where one or more arteries in your lungs become blocked by a blood clot. This is a serious condition that can damage your lungs and other organs in your body due to reduced oxygen flow.
What you can do
Given the severity of your symptoms and your medical history, it's important to seek immediate medical attention. Please go to the nearest emergency room or call an ambulance. Do not attempt to drive yourself.
What you should look out for
If your symptoms worsen or if you experience any of the following, it's crucial to seek immediate medical attention:
- Increased difficulty breathing
- Severe chest pain
- Coughing up blood
- A sudden onset of sharp, severe pain in your leg
- Swelling, redness, or warmth in your leg
Remember, this advice is intended to be general in nature, and specific causes may not apply to your situation. Always consult with a healthcare provider for appropriate examination, testing, and care recommendations.
