pulmonary embolism, i believe :) haha. i had a chest xray and a CT two days ago, which is when they found the cyst on my spleen on ACCIDENT. they were looking for a problem in my lungs. but my symptoms seem to resemble a blood clot in the lung…if i had one do you think they would’ve caught it before in the xray or ct scan?

Yes they are, of course depends on the doctor who’s reviewing the scan & xray whether they pick up on it or not
