Blood Clots

If you’ve read our “About” section, the link can be found at the top of this page when browsed on a desktop and in the hamburger menu on mobile devices, you will then know that I had a large blood clot that caused some serious swelling, pain, and luckily it was caught in time to do something about it.

Blood clots can cause all sorts of varying degrees of health issues and should always be dealt with quickly and efficiently by a mdeical professional. I am not in any way a medical professional, so I would like to point you to people that do.

#1 - Your Doctor - Everyone at times dislikes going to their doctor, but your Doctor can generally have a good idea based on your health, and family history whether you would be a candidate for possibly at some time having a blood clot. Just ask them, and get a general yearly check-up so your Doctor has a better view of how your health is progressing as you age. This will aid them in making the best diagnoses, and give them the best chance for you to help yourself avoid them if possible.

#2 - Other Medical Resources - I put this one up because it is just general info about what a blood clot is, what it can cause, and is from trusted Medical Doctors. You could use WebMD, or others, but why not try out a reliable source of gifted medical professionals whose goal is to keep people healthy? The Mayo Clinic is known worldwide for its outstanding medical professionals who have been published in countless medical journals and textbooks. If you are nervous about asking your Doctor about blood clots, then take a look at the info they provide from the link below to see why it is important that if you have a family history, less than ideal health, or have suspicions you have or may get a blood clot you should see your Doctor about getting more info and possibly checked for one.
