Unexplained coughing or experiencing a sharp pain with every breath can indicate a pulmonary embolism, when the clot has moved up to the lungs.
While blood clots can help seal injuries and stop excessive bleeding, the clotting can be harmful if it takes place in the deep veins of the body. Often occurring in the legs, this condition is known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
