Blood Clots

                                           

 Types of Blood Clots

There are 2 types of blood clots that can be dangerous: deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolisms.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

DVT can happen when an abnormal blood clot forms in a vein deep inside your body, usually in your arm or leg (see Figure 1). The clot may affect your normal blood flow and cause swelling, redness, and pain in the area. If the clot isn’t treated, new blood clots may form. The clot may also break apart and spread to other parts of your body. These things can make the swelling and pain worse and lead to trouble walking, an infection, or skin ulcers (sores).

Pulmonary embolism (PE)

A PE can happen when an abnormal blood clot blocks the flow of blood in a blood vessel in your lung (see Figure 2). Most of the time, this happens when a blood clot in a deep vein of your leg breaks loose and travels to your lung. Having a PE can keep your body from getting enough oxygen.

* Trouble breathing

* Chest pain

* A fast heartbeat

* Pale or blue-colored skin

* A PE can cause death if the signs aren’t treated quickly.
