Just got out of hospital. I had a gastric bleed, lost a lot of blood then fell and broke my collarbone. They found a PE at the hospital. I am short of breath and wobbly. Will I be short of breath the rest of my life??

I'm sorry you had to go through all of that, but it is not likely that the shortness of breath will last for the rest of your life unless you have some type of underlying condition like COPD. Fortunately, with medication, inhalers, rest and physical therapy if needed...we all get better. It just takes time.
Be patient with yourself. Sending a big hug to you today.
