If you experience any of the above symptoms, don’t wait for them to improve on their own. Blood clots can be fatal if they aren’t treated promptly. Call emergency services or go to the emergency room immediately, especially if you notice chest pain, shortness of breath, or signs of a stroke (headache, blurred vision, confusion).
Blood clots are an important part of the body’s defense against bleeding, but when they form in the wrong places, they can cause severe health problems. Recognizing the signs of a dangerous blood clot early can save your life. If you experience any of the symptoms listed, take them seriously and get immediate medical help. Thrombosis, when left untreated, can lead to stroke, heart attack, or pulmonary embolism—conditions that require quick medical intervention.
