However, blood clots inside the blood vessels, called thrombi, can cost health and even life! That is why it is so important to recognize the first symptoms of thrombosis and have time to do everything to prevent it.

Edema of the extremity Edema can serve as a signal that the blood flow is strongly attenuated by blockage of any vein and the limb lacks oxygen.

Pain in the arm or leg If, for example, your arm or leg hurts, and you feel that the focus of the pain is soft and hot to the touch, this may indicate the presence of a thrombus.

Specific redness on the skin Bruises are a kind of dried blood, but they are harmless. What can not be said about the red stripes on the skin that go along the veins. If you see something like this, immediately consult a doctor.

Pain in the chest with a deep breath If you experience acute pain when trying to take a deep breath, it is important to take these symptoms with attention. Their presence can signal the presence of a thrombus in the lungs.

Shortness of breath This is another case where you can not breathe normally. And he also testifies to a possible thrombosis of the lungs. Usually this symptom is accompanied by dizziness, high blood pressure and pulsating sensations in the chest.

Cough Of course, not every cough should be considered dangerous. But if you do not have a cold, you do not have any allergies and you are not sick at all, then it's worth to take a closer look at coughing attacks. Especially if he goes in tandem with any of the above symptoms.

It is important to understand that thrombi is a serious thing that has claimed the lives of many people. Therefore, the delay or negligence in this case of death is similar.
