What Does a Blood Clot Feel Like?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
4. Chest Pain
While blood clots are more likely to form in the leg, they can also develop in other parts of the body. They can also form in the chest area, for example, and this can be very risky in some instances. A blood clot might prevent the blood from flowing to the heart, and this could result in a heart attack.
A blood clot in the chest area causes a pain that is often described as though a heavy weight is being placed on the chest. If a heart attack does arise, then the pain may radiate outwards down the left side of the patient’s body including the shoulder, arm, and jaw.
