Blood is the stuff that runs around our body taking nutrients to cells and picking up the waste. It contains multiple types of cells to do its job. Some of those are cells that clot the blood to stop us from bleeding to death from a minor cut or scrape. There are other things that prevent the blood from clotting when the blood is just running around doing its job. There’s a delicate balance between the two at all times. Sometimes, something goes wrong and a blood clot does form inside a blood vessel where it does not belong. If the clot gets big enough, and the anti clotting factors can’t get it broken down, the flow of blood will pick it up and push it through the blood vessels like a tree branch on a river. Eventually, the clot can get pushed into a blood vessel that’s too small for it to pass through. very often in the lungs because of the pathway that the blood takes. The clot gets stuck, dams up the lung (pulmonary) vessel so no good blood can pass. The part of your lung on the far side of the dam can no longer get nutrients, or remove waste, so it begins to die causing the pain and breathing issues.
