Know the Symptoms of DVT and PE
Symptoms and Signs of Deep Vein Thrombosis (Blood Clot in Leg)
Swelling, usually in one leg
Leg pain or tenderness
Reddish or bluish skin discoloration
Leg warm to touch
The symptoms of a blood clot may feel similar to a pulled muscle or a “Charlie horse,” but may also differ in that the leg may be swollen, slightly discolored, and warm. Contact your doctor if you have these symptoms, because you may need treatment right away.
Symptoms of Pulmonary Embolism (PE; Blood Clot that Travels to Your Lungs)
Sudden shortness of breath
Chest pain-sharp, stabbing; may get worse with deep breath
Rapid heart rate
Unexplained cough, sometimes with bloody mucus
Go to an Emergency Department immediately to be diagnosed and treated
Practical Steps to Keep DVT Risk Low
Ask your doctor about need for “blood thinners” or compression stockings to prevent clots, whenever you go to the hospital
Lose weight, if you are overweight
Stay active
Exercise regularly; walking is fine
Avoid long periods of staying still
Get up and move around at least every hour whenever you travel on a plane, train, or bus, particularly if the trip is longer than 4 hours
Do heel toe exercises or circle your feet if you cannot move around
Stop at least every two hours when you drive, and get out and move around
Drink a lot of water and wear loose fitted clothing when you travel
Talk to your doctor about your risk of clotting whenever you take hormones, whether for birth control or replacement therapy, or during and right after any pregnancy
Follow any self-care measures to keep heart failure, diabetes, or any other health issues as stable as possible
