Pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a blood clot blocks one or more arteries in the lungs. After acute medical treatment is initiated, recovery focuses on anticoagulation adherence, graduated return to activity, and addressing the significant physical and psychological impact of PE. This page covers the recovery phase only — PE is a medical emergency requiring immediate hospital treatment.
