Blood clots are more dangerous than cancer? 4 Phenomena

The blood circulation system is an important system that maintains the normal operation of the human body. Whether it is unobstructed or not will affect whether the various organs of the human body can work normally.

However, due to the improvement of living standards, the main cause of thrombosis in most people is improper diet and poor lifestyle.

What is a blood clot?

Thrombosis refers to a blood clot in the cardiovascular system of the human body, which is composed of insoluble fibrin, platelets, white blood cells and trapped red blood cells.

It can block blood vessels, affect normal blood circulation, and cause systemic ischemia and hypoxia symptoms.

The common causes of its formation are cardiovascular intimal injury; hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis caused by the slowing of blood flow; severe trauma, post-major surgery and postpartum changes in blood properties, etc.

Thrombosis is very harmful. It can form in the blood vessels of the human body and we cannot observe it with the naked eye.How should we be alert to thrombus in daily life?

1. Headache, dizziness

When blood clots exist in the blood vessels in the head and neck of the human body, the blood supply and oxygen supply to the head are insufficient, which can cause headaches and dizziness. This symptom is obvious when the amount of daily activity increases.

However, after eating dinner at night, the blood viscosity increases through digestion and absorption, and the symptoms of blood clots affecting blood circulation will be more pronounced, resulting in headaches and dizziness, and in severe cases, inability to sleep.

In addition, patients with blood clots in the head and neck may also experience headaches and dizziness when they wake up in the morning.

2. Numbness, coldness and cramps in limbs, etc.

The limbs of the human body are at the end of the body, far away from the heart, and the blood circulation speed is relatively slow. If there is a thrombus in this part, it will cause insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the limbs, causing numbness, coldness, and cramps.

This symptom usually manifests itself when sleeping at night. The reason is that when the human body is sleeping, the metabolic rate slows down, the blood circulation speed further slows down, and the effect of thrombus appears.

3.Chest tightness, shortness of breath

Thrombosis may occur in various organs and tissues of the human body. When thrombosis exists in the blood vessels of the lungs, it will affect the normal lung function, causing chest tightness, shortness of breath, chest pain, and poor breathing.

If this symptom occurs while sleeping, be aware of blood clots in the lungs. In addition, this symptom may also occur when there is a thrombus in the coronary arteries of the heart.

4.Drooling

Drooling during sleep is actually not uncommon in daily life. Most people are caused by incorrect sleeping posture and oral diseases.

Cerebral thrombosis leads to insufficient blood supply to the human brain, which affects the normal function of the brain. The human body cannot effectively control saliva swallowing during sleep at night, resulting in unilateral drooling symptoms. If you do not seek medical treatment in time, stroke may occur.

Thrombosis has a huge impact on the human body and can cause serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke, pulmonary embolism, and myocardial infarction. Therefore, when the patient has the above four symptoms while sleeping, he should be alert to the embolism in the body and seek medical examination as soon as possible and take the correct treatment.
