Thrombosis (blood clots) can block veins or arteries and lead to deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, heart attack, or stroke. Many risk factors are common and modifiable — prolonged immobility, recent surgery, cancer, hormone therapy, obesity, smoking, and unmanaged chronic diseases — so early recognition (leg swelling/pain, sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, sudden weakness or speech changes) and timely medical assessment save lives.
Take simple steps to reduce risk: stay active and hydrate during long travel, maintain a healthy weight, quit smoking, control diabetes and heart disease, use compression stockings when advised, and follow anticoagulant instructions carefully. Share this message so more people know the signs and preventive actions — from head to toe, take control.
