Our human body has so many blood vessels that blood would normally flow through these blood vessels. However, if blood clots form in the body due to poor diet or lifestyle habits, then it may slow down the blood flow rate and make its blood gradually thicker, thus posing a certain risk to our health.
Blood clots can occur in any part of our body, but no matter what part of our body it appears in, it is not a small "blow" to our physical health. If it appears in the carotid artery, it can lead to acute cerebral infarction. When a blood clot appears in the heart, it can lead to myocardial infarction.
Generally speaking, when there is a blood clot in our body, the body will also show some abnormal signs. If the number of these signs is too high, it means that the blood clot problem in the body is very serious and needs to be taken seriously.
Reminder: When the body has these abnormal symptoms, or the blood clot is "tempting", you should pay attention to it in time
1. Frequent chest tightness and chest pain
When blood clots develop in the lungs, the first symptom is chest discomfort, such as frequent chest tightness and chest pain. This is because blood clots in the lungs block the entry of outside air into the lungs, which in turn causes the oxygen levels in the blood in the lungs to drop, resulting in chest tightness.
Generally speaking, the occasional chest tightness is not a big problem, but if you often feel chest tightness, you must take it seriously and go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
2. Limb hemp tree
If a large number of blood clots have formed in the body, it may also cause various adverse symptoms in our body. If you feel significant numbness in your limbs, this may also be caused by a blood clot.
When blood clots form, our blood vessels become clogged and narrowed, which hinders normal blood circulation and thus does not provide enough blood to every part of our body, which in turn can lead to local numbness. Therefore, if you often feel obvious numbness in your limbs, it is necessary to take reasonable measures to unblock blood vessels in time.
3. Dizziness and headache
If blood clots appear in the body, dizziness and headaches may also occur, which are signs of excessive blood clot accumulation. When blood clots appear in important blood vessels in the brain, it affects local blood circulation, and when there is a lack of blood supply to vital brain tissue, it can have significant negative effects, which can lead to severe dizziness and headaches.
If this symptom occurs frequently, we should be vigilant for blood clots, and we should also maintain normal blood circulation through reasonable means to prevent obvious blood vessel blockage.
4. Slurred speech
In life, some people may find that in the process of communicating with others, they will suddenly become stammering, and even take a long time to finish a sentence, and sometimes there may be unconscious drooling. If these symptoms occur, they should also be noted, most likely due to blood clots in the body pressing on the language centers in the brain.
5. Angina pectoris
Angina pectoris is also one of the signals when a blood clot is present. The heart, as the engine of the human body, has enough power only if it is functioning properly. However, when there is a buildup of blood clots in the blood vessels around the heart, it will affect the blood supply to our heart, so that the function of the organs will gradually decline, and then the symptoms such as angina pectoris and retrosternal pain will become extremely obvious.
6. Pain in the lower limbs
When a blood clot forms in the blood vessels of the lower limbs, the most obvious feature is the tendency to develop painful symptoms. In addition to suspicion of pathological changes in joints and bones, it is necessary to know whether there is a thrombus in the lower extremities. Due to the high mobility of the lower limbs, the formation of local thrombosis can affect blood circulation, making it impossible to provide blood in a timely manner.
However, during our activities, we need sufficient blood to maintain normal muscle and joint activity. During ischemia, many people may experience localized pain problems, sometimes with intermittent claudication, and need rest to help relieve the pain symptoms. Therefore, when the signal of this characteristic appears, we also need to be alert to the occurrence of blood clot problems.
In conclusion, don't take it for granted when you notice an abnormal sign of a blood clot. If they continue to develop, they can cause significant harm to our bodies. Of course, in order to reduce the impact of blood clots on physical health, it is also necessary to seek medical attention in time when there is an abnormality in our body. At the same time, it is also necessary to cultivate a good lifestyle and eating habits in daily life to improve their physical fitness, only in this way can they avoid the trouble of blood clots.
