Significant shortness of breath, combined with chest pain are two indicators. Definitive diagnosis is via radiologic studies (CT Scan, VQ Scan, etc.)
On initial presentation, a pulmonary embolism (PE) can be difficult to differentiate from a heart attack (or even from pneumonia).

∙ 13y agoReally? Worried?...
It depends on why you're asking? Swimming mishaps are different then a virus!
Virus: Fever (a big sign) and difficulty getting a good breath as well as hearing a wheezing or rattling when you breath out!
Swimming mishap: more difficult to tell, I would go to ER with a child that swallowed/inhaled water from a pool, did a bout of coughing and hacking afterward and then got real sleepy...
hope that helps a little

Help you under stand blood clot to the lung?
A pulmonary embolus (blood clot to the lung) is usually a small clot that forms somewhere else in the body (usually the legs) and travels through the blood stream until it blocks a major blood supply to the lungs. This prevents normal oxygen exchange and can result in death if not taken care of immediately. I've reference the Medline page if you need more information, especially regarding treatment.

What happens when you have blood clots in ones lungs?
A blood clot in the heart could affect the lungs in a number of ways. It could potentially block the pulmonary artery and prevent blood from traveling from the heart to the lung. That would reduce the amount of nutrients reaching that lung and the lung could suffer damage. The blood clot could also travel into the lung (if it is small enough to move through the pulmonary artery) and block blood flow into and out of the lung. The person usually feels short of breath and may cough up blood if that happens. This is called a pulmonary embolism and can be fatal if untreated.
