10 Blood Clot In Arm Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Paresthesia
Paresthesia refers to an abnormal dermal sensation where there is numbness, tingling, chilling, burning, or prickling without an apparent physical cause. Paresthesia can be chronic or persistent and can be due to various causes. It is generally painless and is most commonly felt in the extremities.
The most familiar type of paresthesia is often described as “pins and needles” or of a limb that has “fallen asleep.” When there is an arterial blood clot, paresthesia may occur as the muscle and nerve function becomes impaired due to inadequate blood supply.
