Blood Clot Symptoms: How To Tell If You Have One
Blood clotting is a crucial part of our body's natural defense mechanism against injuries. When we get cut, our blood vessels constrict to prevent us from losing too much blood and then platelets (tiny cells in our blood) come to the rescue and start clumping together to form a clot. This process usually happens quickly and efficiently to stop Bleeding. Clotting is essential for survival, but sometimes clots can form in areas where they're not needed - like in the legs or lungs - and that's when problems occur.
