I see your double down, and I call your bluff. I understand the reason you're confused is because you're not seeing the difference between "breaking up a clot that is forming" and "break off an already formed clot so that it can travel up your system and into your heart and kill you," but trust me there is a difference. It includes such things as:ĭo you want me to link another source that is going to say the exact same thing? A healthy lifestyle is one key to PE prevention. DVT is the most common cause of a pulmonary embolism.īecause pulmonary embolism (PE) is often caused by a blood clot that originally formed in the legs, and because it is often difficult to detect a DVT before problems start, the prevention of DVTs is key in the prevention of PE.

Once a clot has formed in the deep veins of the leg, there is a potential for part of the clot to break off and travel through the blood to another area of the body, often the lung. This is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Venous clots most often happen in the deep veins of the legs. This may result in a serious health problem. Under certain circumstances, the body may be unable to break down a clot. The body makes blood clots and then breaks them down. But I still made my comment ("did I say that?") thinking it's all the same thing, because it kind of is(?), but every little piece of the "and here is how your blood is trying to kill you" puzzle has its own specific name.īlood clotting is a normal process to prevent bleeding. However the idea of "no, don't get up and move around because that can cause a DVT to break lose and cause a PE, so walking is bad for you" is such a pants-on-head statement. So I accidentally said it right, even though I didn't mean to. Getting up and walking can't stop a PE that's happening, but it can help prevent a DVT, which then stops a PE from happening.

A PE is the thing that can kill you if it happens (RIP Geoff). When this happens, it's called a pulmonary embolism. A DVT can break off in the veins of the leg and travel up and into your heart. When a venous clot forms in the deep veins of the leg, it's called a deep vein thrombosis (the thing that dude's wife had). r/wow /r/diablo /r/hearthstone /r/heroesofthestorm /r/overwatchĪlso in my other comment where the points on it have been going up and down constantly ("did I say it prevents embolisms?") I think I accidentally said it right, even though what I was meaning to say was wrong.īlood clots are a thing that can form.
