Self-examination of symptoms to determine whether the thrombus happens

If the clot travels to a blood vessel in the brain, it may cause a cerebral infarction, and if it travels to the heart, it may cause a heart attack, such as a myocardial infarction. Therefore, the danger of thrombus is very great.

To prevent blood clots, we need to understand this concept and pay attention to the following 5 symptoms to determine whether our blood vessels are healthy.

If we don't have any of these symptoms, then our blood vessels are perfectly healthy. It is recommended that you check yourself against the following symptoms

What are the symptoms of a blood clot in the body?

1. Continuous yawning

If you're yawning a lot and feeling sleepy, even with enough sleep, it could be a sign of a blood clot. Because thrombus will affect blood flow velocity and circulation, resulting in hypoxia and ischemia. You should pay attention to it and go to the hospital as soon as possible for investigation.

2. The thickness of the calf is different

If you find that the difference between the thickness of your two calves is more than 3 cm, or if the blood circulation in one of your calves is not smooth, then you may have a blood clot. At this time, it is best to go to the hospital to do some lower extremity vein examinations to rule out the risk of malignant vascular disease.

3. One-sided drooling

If you often drool on one side when you sleep, pay attention to whether it is a precursor to cerebral infarction. Many older adults experience this symptom because blood clots cause muscle dysfunction. You should pay attention to your vascular health and go to the hospital as soon as possible to check your brain blood flow.

4. Chest pain

If you experience tightness in the chest and difficulty breathing, it may be caused by a blood clot that has entered the lungs. This is a very dangerous situation and requires immediate medical attention.

At the same time, you may experience shortness of breath and increased pain. At this time, you have to tell your family about your situation to avoid emergencies.

5. Skin redness

If your skin is locally red and hot, it may be a symptom of superficial thrombophlebitis. In this case, the reddened area will feel very hot, but usually there may not be obvious discomfort. You should check your blood vessels in time to avoid more serious consequences of blood clots.
