What happens if little particle enter vein by accident.

Resolved question:
Dear Sir.
it is just qurious question.
if little particle (glass particle or wood particle or etc) get into the vein by accident and without blocking the vein or stopping and finally reach the heart and stuck on the surface or layer of heart (endorcardium), then what happen next.
1. if this happen, during heart contractions this particle will be detached and will continue through pulmonary arteries.
2. or some inflammation on that part. nothing would be happen.
3. if it cannot be detached from that part. problem would be happen and people could know the symptom easily..

I know this is very rare case and it is almost impossible.. but very curious what happen next.
Thank you very much.

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
Though there is not enough literature to conclusively point out the side effect profiles but it does have interaction with immunosuppressants like Cyclosporine, Birth control pills, e.t.c
Since you're not taking any medicine, you should not worry.
Also yes it may cause photosensitivity and also increase damage from prolonged exposure to sun, but this is not a reported side effect, more of a theoretical possibility, still using protective sunscreen is a good idea.
You can continue taking 900 mg, but do not exceed the dose in any way.
Regards.
