Air travel may be more than just uncomfortable; it could be the cause of a serious medical condition referred to as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). DVT occurs after periods of prolonged immobility when a blood clot-usually formed in the lower leg, but sometimes beginning in the thigh or pelvis—blocks a major vein. Typically, such a clot dissolves once a traveler reaches his or her destination and walks around. But if a clot builds up, there is a risk that it may detach itself and lodge inside the person's lungs. It can also cause chest pain, shortness of breath, and if it's large enough—sudden death.
Who are at Risk of Blood Clot
DVT is not limited to air travelers; it can affect anyone seated in a confined space for a prolonged period.
people who have varicose veins, cancer,
have a history of leg clots
those who've had leg or pelvic surgery or injuries.
