10 Symptoms of a Blood Clot
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Chest Pain
Chest pain is another blood clot symptom that occurs when the clot forms within or reaches the chest area. This type of symptom of a blood clot may also be accompanied by heaviness. If the clot affects the heart and therefore interferes with blood supply to heart muscles, other symptoms like lightheadedness may also be experienced. In case the blood clot is within the lungs, it may also cause breathing difficulties.
It is worth to note that many blood clots that affect the heart and the lungs originate in the lower legs from where they travel through the veins. Such symptoms should be taken seriously including calling a doctor or an ambulance.
