Blood clots cause an estimated 60,000 to 100,000 deaths in the U.S. each year, often due to people seeking help too late. Recognizing the warning signs early can save lives. A blood clot occurs when blood thickens and blocks blood flow, which can lead to heart attacks or failure.

2. **Leg Pain**: Pain or tenderness in the legs, calves, or feet.
3. **Red Stripes**: Visible red lines along your veins.
4. **Chest Pain**: Pain or pressure in the chest, often on one side.
5. **Difficulty Breathing**: Shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, dizziness, or fainting.
