10 Blood Clot In Foot Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #10: Swelling
Swelling is usually most prominent when the blood clot occurs in the vein as it creates a damlike effect that obstructs the flow of blood back toward the heart. This causes pooling of blood, resulting in swelling and pain.
In some cases, when the vein is completely blocked, smaller veins or collateral veins may become bigger to help bypass the obstruction. These smaller veins are usually more apparent under the skin. Swelling is also one of the main characteristics of inflammation. It is often associated with other symptoms such as pain, tenderness, redness, and warmth.
