Deep Vein Thrombosis: Symptoms And Causes

Dizziness And Lightheadedness

Dizziness and even lightheadedness, much like shortness of breath, are warning signs that a blood clot stemming from deep vein thrombosis has broken off. It could now be moving towards the lungs. These symptoms may even worsen and cause the patient to faint. When dealing with dizziness and lightheadedness, no matter what, patients need to avoid walking or performing any active tasks. They should sit down or lay down until the feeling passes. Additionally, patients should not wait to see a doctor if they are dealing with other symptoms of deep vein thrombosis. This is vital as dizziness if considered a later symptom of deep vein thrombosis. Emergency care is crucial at this point.
