Good news people! 30%-50% of individuals with Deep Vein Thrombosis experience no symptoms at all – thats right.
So that statistic right there pretty much defeats the purpose of even checking for symptoms. Because even if you don’t show any signs of symptoms, you still may be at risk, something which i covered at fair length in my DVT risk factors article.
I mean think about it, you could be feeling perfectly fine the entire flight, then when you least expect it – bang! You find yourself hospitalised from DVT – most likely due to a flight or long car drive you took not too long ago.
And in some cases, the onset of DVT might not occur until days after your flight. Yes this DVT is a bugger.
No doubt that in due time there will be a means to detect your risk to DVT far more accurately than symptoms that only show up 30%-50% of the time, but as of now this list of symptoms is unfortunately all you have to go by.
If you experience any of the following, please seek professional help…but then even if you don’t experience any of the following, you may still want to seek professional help:
- Leg pain when standing
- Leg cramps
- Bluish or whitish discolouration of skin
- Swelling in feet and ankles
- Feeling apprehensive
- Worsening leg pain when bending the foot
- Gradual onset of pain
- Highly rapid pulse rate
- Coughing blood
- Enlarged leg veins
- Sweating
- Skin that is warm to the touch
- Sharp chest pains
- Shortness of breath
- Fainting
Obviously if you are experiencing a combination of these symptoms, your risk to Deep Vein Thrombosis is more than likely. But let the professionals diagnose you first before you go jumping to your own conclusions.
