Warning: 5 extremely dangerous symptoms of blood clots in the body
(Baonghean.vn) - Normally, blood clots are good, especially when injured and need blood to clot and gather at the site of injury to help stop bleeding. However, in some cases, blood clots appear and put people in a dangerous situation, even death... Therefore, recognizing the signs of blood clots is very important.
 |
| In fact, a bruise is a form of blood clot and you don't need to worry too much. But you should pay attention to changes in skin color, specifically redness. Deep vein thrombosis causes red streaks along the veins in the affected limb, and makes the arm or leg feel warm to the touch. |
 |
| A swollen leg or arm is a common sign of deep vein thrombosis. The clot can block the flow of blood in the leg and blood flows behind the clot, causing swelling. Be careful if this occurs along with pain in the leg. |
 |
| If you have a persistent cough, along with difficulty breathing, a rapid heartbeat, or chest pain, think of pulmonary embolism. The cough is dry but can sometimes produce phlegm or blood… If in doubt, see a doctor quickly before it’s too late. |
 |
| Chest pain may be a sign of a heart attack, but it could also be a sign of a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot that has traveled to the lungs). However, the pain from a pulmonary embolism tends to be more intense, especially when you take a deep breath. In either case, you should call 911 immediately. |
 |
| A blood clot in the lungs can slow the flow of oxygen; when oxygen levels are low, your heart beats faster to compensate. Feeling a flutter in your chest and having trouble breathing deeply can be a warning sign that you may have a pulmonary embolism. |
