Edema : The swelling of parts of the body due to fluids trapped in the tissue. It is a symptom of a variety of problems.
Owwwww...My chest hurts and my pants feel super tight. I think my legs might be swollen. I'll search up what my conditions might mean.
According to my search I might have Edema, or in other words, Swelling. I'm going to go see my doctor to get this checked out.
After spending a few days at the office...
One V/Q Scan Later...
So what's wrong doc?
It appears that you do in fact have Edema as you told us. So we ran a V/Q Scan on you.
A V/Q Scan is a type of scan where we take pictures of your lungs before, and after we have you intake a special gas and liquid. The gas allows us to see your Ventilation, or, the airflow of your lungs. The liquid allows us to see your Perfusion, or, blood flow.
Well, as we can see from your V/Q Scan results, You may be suffering from something called a Pulmonary Embolism. This means that a blood clot has formed in your veins and is stopping blood from reaching your lungs. Edema is one of the symptoms that can occur from the clot. We'll get you started on treatment right away.
Thanks Doc! I feel better already!
