What happens when a blood clot reaches your lungs? 😳🩸
A clot can travel through the bloodstream and become lodged in a pulmonary artery, suddenly reducing blood flow to part of the lung. This is called a pulmonary embolism and can be a medical emergency.
Watch to see what happens inside your body when the blockage occurs. 👀
