Patients need to pay attention to the timing of symptoms.
Blood clots can be caused by various diseases and factors, including a sedentary lifestyle. If a blood clot enters the lungs, it can be fatal for the patient: a pulmonary embolism.
VeryWell Healt explains that blood clots cause discomfort in the lungs, a condition similar to heartburn.
Real heartburn, which lasts from a few minutes to a few hours, can be triggered by acid reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Symptoms of heartburn may go away on their own if you follow a certain diet, giving up certain foods. But if the signs of heartburn persist, it may be a blood clot. Lung discomfort may be accompanied by pressure in the area of the sternum, upset stomach.
It is also worth paying attention to dizziness, swelling, chest pain, shortness of breath.
