A blood clot represents serious threat to health, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
This was reported by “URA-Inform” with reference to Newsyou.
Doctors note several hidden signs that may indicate the need to check the blood condition and contact a specialist.
Unilateral swelling of the limb— one of the most alarming signals. If, for example, one arm or leg is noticeably larger than the other, this may indicate deep vein thrombosis. In this case, a blood clot blocks blood flow, causing swelling, which requires immediate medical intervention, since a clot can block the vessels of vital organs.
Red lines on the skin that run along the veins are another possible symptom. They may be warm to the touch, and the skin in these areas takes on a red or blue tint. This is also a reason for an urgent consultation with a doctor.
Dizziness and rapid breathing at rest signal possible problems with blood circulation. Such symptoms should not be ignored, as they can be a sign of thrombosis or other diseases.
Pain and cramps in the legs, as well as tingling in this area, can accompany the condition of thick blood. Such manifestations require additional examination to exclude serious pathologies.
If you notice one or more of these symptoms, it is important to consult a doctor in time for diagnosis and to prevent possible complications.
Recall that earlier it was reported how to recognize the early signs of a blood clot: the doctor named the first manifestations of the disease.
