Pulmonary embolism is a pulmonary obstruction usually caused by thrombosis. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, anxiety, increased heart rate and dizziness. Pulmonary embolism can occur in many cases, including recent surgery, pregnancy, hypertension and smoking. Obesity due to poor diet and lack of exercise also increases your risk of pulmonary embolism. There is no special diet for patients with pulmonary embolism; however, doctors recommend a healthy diet to prevent diseases that may lead to thrombosis. If you prescribe warfarin, an anticoagulant, for pulmonary embolism, you need to avoid or control your intake of certain foods.

(Picture: jupiterimages/stockbyte/getty images)Cranberry products such as fruit juice can increase the effectiveness of warfarin, leading to bleeding problems. If you have pulmonary embolism and are assigned warfarin, you should avoid eating and drinking cranberry juice. Alcohol can also increase the effect of warfarin, which should not be taken when taking anticoagulants. Medlineplus recommends that patients with pulmonary embolism avoid licorice, which may reduce warfarin's efficacy and cause thrombosis.
