Other symptoms may include severe headache, nausea, vomiting, visual disturbance and loss of consciousness.

A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blood clot that develops in a blood vessel in the body (often in the leg). It then travels to a lung artery, where it suddenly blocks blood flow.
Common symptoms include:
A stroke can result if the narrowing of the carotid arteries is severe enough that blood flow is blocked. It can block blood flow to the brain if a piece of plaque breaks off.
It’s important to remember the signs of a stroke with the acronym “B.E. F.A.S.T.”
If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, go directly to the ER or call 911.
If you are looking for a cardiologist or a second opinion on a diagnosis or your care plan, we can help. You’ll find that managing long-term and chronic heart care needs is easier with a team ready to support you.
