Hello dear patient, acute means only that symptoms happen. Suddenly like cough, shortness of breath, pain in chest, blood in cough etc. Pulmonary embolism is a serious condition. I advise you to continue treatment. And also take a second opinion if there is any lapse in treatment. Tc regards Dr yogesh sehrawat MD medicine
