BLOOD VLOT IN OUR BODY AFTER SURGERY?

clot?

Some of the signs and symptoms would include heat, pain , swelling, difficulty breathing etc. It all depends where the clot is. Why do you ask, do you think you have one?

Totally depends on where it is.

In a leg where they are common there would be swelling, heat, redness and pain.

In an organ (ie lungs called a pulmonary embolism) you would know quickly- this can be deadly. You are very short of breath, chest hurts, ect.

If you feel like you could have a blood clot do not play around with it- go to the doctor if they are open if not get to the ER. Blood clots can be deadly and is a common cause of death post-op. Don't mean to scare, but they are serious.

if you think you have a clot (of any type) call your dr.

clots are serious and are life threatening.

You ask your doctor. He is qualified to answer, we are not doctors! Get it checked out!
