Petechiae (small red or purple spots on the skin) and tachycardia (rapid heart rate) are early signs and symptoms of a fat embolus. Reduced urinary output and fever may also be present but are not specific to a fat embolus. Chest pain may occur, but it is not an early sign or symptom of a fat embolus.
