10. Breathing Difficulties
In cases of a pulmonary embolism, the blood will not be able to get the oxygen that it needs from our lungs. This then means that the body will be starved of oxygen, but the patient will have difficulty getting the oxygen because of the blood clot.
If you have a deep vein thrombosis and you experience sudden breathing difficulties, then you should get medical attention straight away. The lack of oxygen can also mean that people with the condition will are prone to fainting. The seriousness of the condition means that it is a very good idea to treat the symptom as an emergency.
