Signs of DVT
5. Warmth
As warm-blooded animals, we are able to regulate our own body temperature. This is achieved largely by chemical processes that generate heat when we metabolize our food. Our cells will also generate heat, and heat is also carried in the blood. As a result, our bodies feel warm to the touch all over.
If part of your body feels warmer than the rest, however, then it is a sign that there might be something wrong. If the warmth is in the leg and in an area that is swollen and red, then it may well be down to a case of deep vein thrombosis.
