Do you think you have a blood clot? Here’s what you should immediately do:
Firstly, you should speak to your doctor about what you feel. Letting your doctor know about your symptoms and what you are going through is the first step in the process of healing.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), blood-thinning drugs are the most important part of the treatment given for blood clots. Injections or tablets of anticoagulants are a MUST for dissolving a clot. In severe cases, the patient may need surgery.
It is important to take into consideration that if you have a blood clot, you must follow a treatment plan for a few months. The treatment doesn’t stop when the clot disappears. Also, after having an issue like this, you must visit your doctor regularly to get checked. Once you have a blood clot, it is very possible to experience a new one in a different place in your body. All you need to do is try to have a healthy and responsible lifestyle.

I had a problem with my heart beat now and then, it feels like my heart has air pumping through, for maybe 15 seconds. I wore monitors 2 times but nothing shows up. A cardiologist told me to cut my coffee consumption down to 3 cups which seems to be working.
My father told me rowing a boat was one of the best excercises, which we did when we were young. I still believe that today. Typical rowing machines are not the same.
Thank you for allowing comments.

The first time I had blood clots I started with pain in my legs but the pain kept moving up my leg. Eventually I ended up with pain in my groin and they were very concerned about it because it was a deep vein blood clot. I got them from traveling 6 hours and not getting out to walk around. I had a total of 5 blood clots that time. A year later I had knee surgery and about a month later I got pain in my leg and I had 2 that time.
