Blood Clot In Leg Sign #7: Shortness of Breath
If the blood clot in your leg has gone unattended for an extended period of time, it may travel to other areas of your body, including your lungs. If it ends up in your lungs and causes a pulmonary embolism, the clot will impede your air flow.
This, in turn, can make it difficult and quite painful to take a deep breath. As a result, you feel short of breath, compensating with taking shallower, sporadic breaths.
