Warning symptoms before infection
“In certain cases, individuals may notice warning signs or symptoms prior to developing a DVT, such as leg pain or discomfort, especially when sitting or standing for long periods,” said Dr. Abu Bakr.
This may give a nudge, but the onset of symptoms can be affected by various factors.
Also, the size of the clot to the place where it appeared, clots can make each person react differently, according to the newspaper “Express”.
Common signs of deep vein thrombosis
The doctor said common “early” signs of DVT include the following leg problems:
swelling
– Blushing.
warmth.
-pain.
The affected area may also appear larger than the other leg.
If any of these warning symptoms appear, the doctor advises that it is necessary to “seek immediate medical attention.”
He added: “Blood clots can be dangerous if they break free and travel to other parts of the body. When the blood clot travels to the lungs, it can cause a pulmonary embolism.”
“As a result, the normal blood flow and oxygen exchange in the lungs is impeded, leading to symptoms such as sudden shortness of breath and chest pain,” he explained.
