A PE is a very serious problem. Many of the symptoms can go on without being noticed, therefore a medical doctor must perform the most appropriate tests to determine if a PE is the patients problem. A PE is a blood clot that can travel into the lungs and potentially cause death. The most common symptoms of a PE are chest pains, back pains, or shortness of breath. The best tool to use to diagnose a PE is a PE study of the chest with a CT scan.
