What Does a Blood Clot Feel Like?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
8. A Cough
When we get a cough, we will not usually think too much of it. We might consider turning to some lozenges and taking it easy, but we won’t usually think there is a serious problem. It is sometimes a sign of something very serious indeed, however, and it could even mean a blood clot in the chest.
If you have a severe cough that has come on suddenly then it’s something that should make you take notice. It could well be down to a clot affecting the lungs, termed a pulmonary embolism, so it is something that should not be taken too lightly. Remember, heart attacks are often fatal so it is something that should be approached earnestly.
