The damage caused by blood clots to human health is very large. And according to the different sites of thrombosis, the specific harm it can cause will also vary. If a blood clot occurs in the brain, it will greatly increase the incidence of cerebral infarction.
When a blood clot occurs in the lungs, it can cause quite severe chest pain, poor breathing, or chest tightness and shortness of breath.
So when the body has thrombotic troubles, is there a clear disease signal for the patient to detect the disease in time? In fact, there is indeed, let's take a closer look.
1. Drool in bed
Sleep drooling is a bad symptom that many people have experienced, so for sleep drooling troubles, the vast majority of people do not pay special attention to it, often think that it is only caused by improper sleeping posture. This idea of being too one-sided and fluke is actually very undesirable.
In fact, for middle-aged and elderly people, the frequent occurrence of sleep drooling problems, especially unilateral drooling problems, may be largely caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain caused by blood clots.
Therefore, for the problem of drooling in sleep, we must not ignore it too much. If unilateral drooling symptoms are still frequent while maintaining the correct sleeping position, it is necessary to increase vigilance and strengthen vascular maintenance in time.
2. Frequent yawns
The adverse effects of blood clots on blood circulation are enormous. When a blood clot leads to insufficient blood supply to the brain, it often leads to a significant increase in drowsiness in the human body, in which case it is easy to have frequent yawns. And this feeling of drowsiness is generally not significantly improved by prolonging sleep.
Therefore, if you frequently yawn when sleep is guaranteed, you must also pay attention to it, and do not simply attribute it to overwork or lack of sleep.
3. The language is not clear
When a blood clot is formed in the brain and adversely affects the facial nerves and language expression function, it is easy to cause crooked mouth and unclear language expression problems.
In view of this symptom, we must be vigilant and carry out a detailed physical examination in time, otherwise the time will be long, and as the condition continues to worsen, the negative impact on physical health will become more and more obvious.
4. Numbness in the legs and feet
For office workers who are often sedentary, the frequency of numbness in the legs and feet is often higher. The reason for this trouble is largely due to the venous thrombosis caused by the blood supply to the legs, the blood return is not smooth, and in severe cases, it can even cause leg and foot pain or swelling.
Therefore, for the change of the leg circumference difference caused by the legs, everyone must pay more attention. For example, when the difference between the circumference of the legs and calves is higher than 3cm, it is necessary to strengthen the blood vessel maintenance in time.
It's just that many people may not know much about the measurement of the circumference of the legs and calves. In fact, you can just use a soft ruler to measure the circumference of the calf 10 cm below the knee, that is, the thickest part of the calf.
These are four disease signals that are common when the body has thrombotic troubles. If such adverse symptoms occur frequently, we must be vigilant and conduct detailed blood vessel examinations in time.
If there is indeed a thrombotic problem, you must actively accept standardized treatment and strengthen blood vessel maintenance in time, such as drinking water in time, active exercise, light diet, smoking and alcohol cessation.
