Do you have any of these symptoms? Call your doctor immediately!
Every year, around 900.000 Americans are affected by blood clots. Have you ever wondered what it feels like? Knowing the signs and symptoms of a blood clot can save your life.
Blood clots are normal, and all of us have them. For example, we need them to stop bleeding after an injury. The problem is that sometimes blood clots happen suddenly when they are not needed. When they form near your muscles, in your deep veins, they are called thrombosis, or DVT, and can put your life in danger. Your blood flow keeps your system up and running, so when a clot forms, it causes traffic jams in your circulation.
The situation can get even worse because if a DVT breaks, it can travel through your body, arrive at your lungs, and prevent them from getting the blood and oxygen they need to function.
