Brief Answer:
Dont worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Welcome to healthcare magic.

Embolism happens very fast and through open vessels.

In your case the embolism is not possible.

The feeling is water column stuck which will be fine in few hours.

There is no reason to worry about embolism.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
