Trace bilateral lower lobe subsegmental pulmonary emboli

Posted , 1 user is following.

Got a CT Scan recently for my chest/heart and got this result "Trace bilateral lower lobe subsegmental pulmonary emboli". I was just put on blood thinners for 3-6 months and have follow ups with pulmonary/hema. How serious is this? Will they go away? What could possibly be causing them? Little nervous..
