Yasmin pulmonary embolism (PE) warning signs can be difficult to diagnose because many of the symptoms are like those of other problems, such as a heart attack, panic attack or pneumonia.  For that reason, your doctor will start by doing a physical exam, review your health history and perform one or more tests to help find the cause of your symptoms of pulmonary diagnosis. Yaz PE blood clot side effects can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner.

Pulmonary embolism tests may include the following:

1.  Chest x-ray.  This noninvasive test does not diagnose pulmonary embolism, but it may help rule out conditions that mimic the disease.

2.  Lung Scan.  A ventilation-perfusion scan (V/Q scan) uses small amounts of radioactive tracers to study airflow and blow flow in your lungs.  A normal lung scan may rule out Yaz pulmonary embolism problems but not DVT so other tests are likely still necessary.

3.  Spiral computerized tomography (CT) scan.  A spiral or helical CT is fast becoming the first-line test for diagnosing suspected pulmonary embolism.  Using a dye to help visualize the area, the scan rotates continuously around your body, following a spiral path to create 3-D images.  It can detect abnormalities with a great degree of accuracy and is faster than conventional CTs.

4.  Pulmonary angiogram. This test provides a clear picture of the blood flow in the arteries of your lungs. It is the most accurate way to diagnose pulmonary embolism, but because it requires a high degree of skill to administer and carries potentially serious risks, it is usually performed when other tests fail to provide a definitive diagnosis.

5.  Tests for Blood Clots.  In addition to tests that check for pulmonary embolism, you may also have tests that help detect blood clots in your veins, such as: D-dimer blood test, ultrasound, venography, MRI, and blood tests that look for inherited defects in your clotting system.
