Pulmonary Embolism (PE) strikes fast and hard, but its beginnings can be much more silent. It often starts with a blood clot, usually from a deep vein in the legs, that breaks free and travels through the bloodstream to block arteries in the lungs. This sudden blockage can severely cut off oxygen supply to the body and quickly turn into a life-threatening emergency.
