Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Support Group

Deep-vein thrombosis, also known as deep-venous thrombosis or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot ("thrombus") in a deep vein. It can be caused by something preventing blood from circulating or clotting normally. Join the support group if you are coping with DVT and find others who are going through the same challenges.

DVT?

Can DVT in the leg cause tingling in your face and arms?  Besides having a leg ultrasound done can a blood test be done to check if it's a blood clot?

A negative d dimer blood test can rule out a clot but a positive d dimer treat can’t diagnose a clot.

Tingling in or arms and face can be dyhdration, anxiety, etc. I wouldn’t say it’s a specific sign of a dvt.

If you think you may have a dvt call your doc or go to the ER

    We all have 24 hours in a day.  How we spend these hours is important.  Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do.  Gonna have to work on that.Your turn.  Tell me another truth.
