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.
