Blood is a seemingly impossible task it must flow smoothly and continuously throughout your body throughout its lifetime, yet it must be shut off to stop spills after an injury or cut. Blood clots are life-saving and healthy once they have stopped bleeding. However, they may also form when they're not needed and can cause coronary heart stroke, stroke or other medical issues.

  1. WHAT IS A BLOOD CLOT? Blood is a seemingly impossible task it must flow smoothly and continuously throughout your body throughout its lifetime, yet it must be shut off to stop spills after an injury or cut. Blood clots are life-saving and healthy once they have stopped bleeding. However, they may also form when they're not needed and can cause coronary heart stroke, stroke or other medical issues.

  2. BLOOD CLOT SYMPTOMS Paralysis Numbness or weakness in the arm, face, leg, especially on one side of the body Trouble speaking or understanding others Slurred speech Confusion, Disorientation, or Lack of Responsiveness Sudden behavioral changes especially increased agitation

  3. TYPES OF BLOOD CLOT 1. Arterial Clot: If a blood clot develops inside an artery it's known as an embolism in the arterial system. The clot can cause symptoms quickly and requires immediate treatment. 2. Venous Clot: A blood clot that occurs in a vein is referred to as an embolism venous. These types of clots could grow slowly over time, however, they could still be life-threatening.

  4. BLOOD CLOT CAUSES There are a variety of factors that can trigger blood clots. The causes usually depend on the kind of clot it's. When blood clots form within blood vessels, they're generally caused by plaques composed of mineral deposits or fat that break away and hinder the flow of blood. The body responds to a cut or wound by clotting blood how it is supposed to. These kinds of clots do not pose danger.
