what are the signs of a blood clot?


Author: Succeeder    

A blood clot is a blob of blood that changes from a liquid state to a gel. They usually do not cause any harm to your health as they protect your body from harm. However, when blood clots develop in your deep veins, they can be very dangerous.

This dangerous blood clot is called a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and it causes a "traffic jam" in the blood circulation. It can also have very serious consequences if a blood clot breaks away from its surface and travels to your lungs or heart.
Here are 10 warning signs of blood clots that you should not ignore so that you can recognize the symptoms of DVT as soon as possible.

1. Accelerated heartbeat

If you have a blood clot in your lung, you may feel a flutter in your chest. In this case, the tachycardia may be caused by low levels of oxygen in the lungs. So your mind tries to make up the shortfall and starts going faster and faster.

2. Shortness of breath

If you suddenly realize that you are having trouble taking a deep breath, it could be a symptom of a blood clot in your lung, which is a pulmonary embolism.

3. Coughing for no reason

If you have occasional dry coughs, shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, chest pains, and other sudden attacks, it could be a clot movement. You may also cough up mucus or even blood.

4. Chest pain

If you experience chest pain when you take a deep breath, it could be one of the symptoms of a pulmonary embolism.

5. Red or dark discoloration on legs

Red or black spots on your skin for no reason could be a symptom of a blood clot in your leg. You can also feel warmth and warmth in the area, and even pain when you stretch your toes.

6. Pain in the arms or legs

While several symptoms are usually required to diagnose DVT, the only symptom of this serious condition may be pain. Pain from a blood clot can easily be mistaken for muscle cramps, but this pain usually occurs when walking or bending upwards.

7. Swelling of limbs

If you suddenly notice swelling in one of your ankles, it could be a warning symptom of DVT. This condition is considered an emergency because the clot may break free and reach one of your organs at any time.

8. Red streaks on your skin

Have you ever noticed red streaks popping up along the length of the vein? Do you feel warm when you touch them? This may not be a normal bruise and you will need immediate medical attention.

9. Vomiting

Vomiting may be a sign of a blood clot in the abdomen. This condition is called mesenteric ischemia and is usually accompanied by severe pain in the abdomen. You may also feel nauseous and even have blood in your stool if your intestines don't have an adequate blood supply.

10. Partial or complete blindness

 

If you notice any of these symptoms, see your doctor as soon as possible. Remember, blood clots can be fatal if you don't treat them well.
