10 Symptoms of a Blood Clot
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Muscle Cramp
What may feel like a muscle cramp in the calf of your leg could be a symptom of a blood clot. The muscle cramp-like feeling is usually accompanied by pain in the same area. Unfortunately, this blood clot symptom is usually ignored due to the assumption that it is a cramp that will pass. This pain usually intensifies when you bend your foot upwards and when you walk.
Blood clots in the legs may pose more serious issues including a heart attack and stroke. For this reason, it is important to seek medical attention in case of pain in the calf that feels like a muscle cramp.
