- DVTs and PEs. A deep vein thrombosis can lead to a pulmonary embolism. Both are bad, but what's the anatomy that links these two things? We can also go over some terminology to make sure we understand the words, thrombus, embolism, and stuff.

One of the most thorough videos explaining what recently happened to me. I came to work at the hospital where I serve as a chaplain. I had swelling in my leg, the nurses told me to go down to the Emergency Dept and get a sonogram on my leg. I did and much to my surprise, I found I had a major clot going from my thigh down into my calf muscles. I also had a ct scan that revealed some moderate size p.e.'s Thankfully they got me on blood thinners and with much prayer and help of good dr.'s I was able to come through the ordeal and am back to work. Now just tryin to discover the root cause of these clots to hopefully prevent it from happening again. Thanks for your good video.
I’m also trying to find the root cause. I had a Blood clot. The doctor said it was from a 8 he car drive
So this happened to my hubby. All his other vitals are fine, but...should he have been hospitalized? He is on anticoagulants too.
How long that took to get better and did you get bruises . Still you have Bruises on your lower leg ?
Same issue, I just got diagnosed with DVT. Scary not knowing what is causing it. 😳 Went on a holiday , didn't feel any discomfort on the flight. Slight swelling for few days then only had issue two months later.
@@freedom2084 that will definitely do it!
My mother recently died from a “blood clot on the lungs.” I didn’t understand what that was. I miss her deeply but strangely it gives me some comfort to know what happened to her. Thank you.
What happened my friend
He's a really good teacher and seems a nice person as well... thank you for your great and helpful content
I've had 5 PE's and 2 DVT'S and when you realize how dangerous they are, especially knowing they travel through your heart, it sends chills down my spine.
I've seen a lot of in-services in my forty years of nursing but this guy is one of the best
I had exactly what you said in this video in November-December 2021. Started off after long drives for business trips. Pain in left calf. I thought that it was a muscle strain from the gym. The pain subsided after 2 weeks. Then, I experienced shortness of breath and tachycardia for 5 weeks! 5 different doctors improperly diagnosed this as my asthma. On December 18th, my wife took me to the ER. They did a CT can of my chest, and found extensive bilateral pulmonary emboli. I still had a DVT in my left thigh area. I was placed on heparin for 2 days, then Eliquis. After being discharged, I went to a hematologist, found out that I have what my father has, a prothrombin/factor II mutation which places us at higher risk for thrombosis. He's a lifer on Warfarin, I'm a lifer on Eliquis. We're both lucky to be alive. About 30% die from PE. God bless those who perished from this highly misdiagnosed disorder.
Happy you are here as well
The same exact thing happened to me just earlier this month. Except I'm a competitive athlete and haven't had any long periods of sitting in the last 9 months. I had my first calf pain in July 2021, and then I had calf pain on and off in both calves. Like you, I thought it was muscle strain from the gym. That's what it felt like for sure! I started having an irregular heart rate during exercise, but my GP told me to lose weight to fix the problem. Again, I'm a competitive athlete... Anyways, I ended up in the ER in severe hemodynamic shock earlier this month. After a stay in the ICU, I was able to come home. Definitely lucky to be alive as well. I'm likely a lifer on Eliquis as well. They haven't found a cause yet. It's good to hear that someone else has had an almost identical experience.
@@sarahbonney1556 Wow, that's a very similar experience from mine! I'm glad you're okay. Did you see a hematologist to do tests for clotting disorders? My 14 y/o son was also tested for this, and found that he has it. Knowledge is power! Good luck to you, and best of health!
@@martyhelfrich8239 I have an appointment with a hematologist on Monday and hopefully I get some answers. Best of luck to you as well! Scary stuff…
@@sarahbonney1556 Best of luck! I hope that you get answers!
*Best Anatomy Demonstrator working without any personal interest!*
iam 1st year medical student from egypt and this is the best tutorial i have ever seen to explain how pulmonary embolism form , thank you doctor
This just happened to me and this was a perfect video in explaining what is happening inside my body. Thank you!
Same.
I’m not medically trained just someone wanting to find out more - the human body is so fascinating! Thanks for sharing this you teach so well even total lay people can understand many of the concepts
11/28/2022 - I had a cough throughout the day at work. I thought it may be Covid. I bought and took a home test, it was negative.
11/29/2022 - I woke up feeling like absolute crap, cough, sore throat, etc. I called off work and stayed at home in bed. Ate soup for dinner, had a couple cups of tea that afternoon/evening.
11/30/2022 - Woke up feeling even worse, called off work again, did much of the same. Took another Covid test. It was also negative.
12/1/2022 - Still felt like crap, but went to work, then straight home after.
12/2/2022 - Throat so sore I could barely swallow, I went to CVS Minute Clinic. I was tested for Strep, Flu A, Flu B, and Covid. All were negative. I was told it was a bad cold/sinus infection, and prescribed a 5 day course of Augmentin.
Over the next few days, I began to feel better, but with a relentless cough at night. About a week later, I finally began to feel better and pretty much normal.
12/11/2022 - Sitting watching football, I got a cramp-like pain in my calf. After unsuccessfully trying to stretch it and walk it off, I lifted my jeans to reveal a swollen, hard, itchy, painful, hot-to-the-touch vein. This concerned me a little bit, so I kept an eye on it the next couple days, and I had more redness and swelling the next couple days.
12/14/2022 - Given family history of blood clots, I called my doctor. He was out, but the person I talked to urged me to come in to the walk-in clinic that day when I told her about family history. I was given an ultrasound. They ruled out DVT, and said that it was a "superficial thrombus", which is a surface clot, and it would likely resolve itself within a couple weeks.
12/21/2022 - After doing a 30 minute session on the stair climber, I took my son out to dinner and a movie for his birthday. While out to dinner, I began to have a mild pain in my upper, right rib area.
12/22/2022 - My leg pain was gone, but the pain in my upper right rib area was still there, and I was a bit short of breath, but nothing severe. I just couldn't quite get a deep breath. Towards the end of the work day, a co-worker said something funny, and as I laughed I felt a sharp, stabbing pain in the upper right rib area. I called my doctor. Out of the office again, but walk-in clinic still open. I went in, thinking I may have pneumonia, as my symptoms were consistent with pneumonia I had 3 years prior). I was given a chest x-ray, which I was told didn't show anything, and was told I likely had a pulled intercostal muscle. I was prescribed prednisone and a Voltaren (yes, arthritis cream).
12/28/2022 - The pain was still present in my right side, and my shortness of breath was worse. I was showing someone something at work, when I had to catch my breath after every other sentence. I was urged to go into Urgent Care to get checked out again. I did so, and was given another chest X-ray and a 24 hour Covid test. They told me it looked like pneumonia, but they couldn't quite confirm it. They gave me a Z-pack and told me if I got worse, or my symptoms didn't improve in 24-48 hours, that I should go to the ER.
12/29/2022 - I felt a little better than the day before, but not much. Also, I received my Covid results and they were negative.
12/30/2022 - I woke up with my shortness of breath worse, and pain no longer on my right side, but now on my left side, and more severe. I went to the ER. They did a CT scan of my chest and told me I had pulmonary embolism and pneumonia/pleural effusion (depending on who you asked). As I was waiting for a room, they told me that had to do respiratory panels, before admitting me. They did so, and 12 hours later, they finally took me to my room and told me I also tested positive for Covid. This is neither here nor there, but I don't believe I had Covid, as I had 4 negative tests, including a 24 hour one in the days leading up to this. I believe it was a false positive.
1/4/2023 - After 5 days in hospital, being on oxygen, being given Eliquis, antibiotics, steroids, Protonix, and a multi-vitamin, I was discharged.
I have a handful of follow-ups in the days ahead (infectious disease specialist from hospital, pulmonologist, blood work, etc), but I'm already doing significantly better (40-45 minute walks or light elliptical sessions and/or 10-12 sets of very light weights each day), but nowhere near where I was before (6 days/week of 90 minute weightlifting and cardio sessions). It seems the exercise has an almost instant positive effect on my pulse ox readings, especially the weight lifting, as there's such a focus on breathing while lifting weights.
Anyhow, this is how I got where I did.
What a piece of work
The human body is so amazing
Extremely interesting & quite easy to understand for anyone of any age. I was diagnosed last year with A DVT in my left leg & took Eliquis for 4 months, after which my doctor told me to stop even though I had enough for 2 more months. He did NOT do any blood tests or another scan of my leg. I was NEVER told to move around either though I do my best as I have a replaced right knee. Now we are in 2023...that same blood clot in the left side now went higher up in that leg and I developed another one in my right leg near the groin! If that wasn't bad enough, I now have 2 blood clots (PE) in either lung~!
For goodness sakes! But I refuse to let any of this get me down.
I have been researching the subject of blood clots since I learned of it on Feb. 25th. I am an older person with a very young brain (mindset) and I do thank you for your video because it actually shows you exactly how Blood Clots form and how they go from your leg into your lungs~!
Phillips I'm so sorry that this happened to you.
I went to the emergency room and told them I had a clot in the leg. It wasn't treated like an emergency. I was there for almost 24hrs before seen by a doctor. The lump in my leg had disappeared by then.
I was sent for s doplar ultrasound. No clot was found. Doctor said "well you don't have a clot". Luckily the shift was about to change over so another doctor took over my case. She insisted that of a clot was in my foot, then it's still somewhere in my body ....and she needs to find it.
I was diagnosed with bilateral PE. I suspect that one of these PEs happened as I waited at the ER.
So now I'm a sitting duck while I wait for the clots to dissolve....all because ER didn't treat me as an emergency.
How are you getting on? So despite the fact you took thinners the clots still formed?
@@Cekatuso the clot had travelled to your lungs correct? How will you know if it has dissolved
I know I'll keep watching your videos even after I'm done with anatomy because I absolutely love the way you teach. Thank you for everything you do for your students and everyone on youtube. Best wishes from Sudan!
This concept of the anatomical description of a phenomenon is totally fascinating. Really good idea for a video topic. Loved it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
..And someone says that I was created by a big bang? Smh. We were definitely created by a designer
I had a clot do exactly this it took approx 60 days before it reached my lung from my leg, for 2 weeks the length of time on my feet got smaller and smaller before collapsing, i was passed out for 20minutes the woke up face down & into ambulance off to hospital. I am now recovering at home gaining strength slowly day by day.
After the scans the doctors were speechless that i was alive they actually shook their heads and asked how did you get back up from this. I got 2nd chance i am one of the lucky ones.
Clot started approx 20/12/2021, Collapsed 3/3/2022. Dont delay getting to hospital like me.
Same with me. All my vessels were clogged from years of a leg dvt.
Scary stuff. I just got diagnosed with DVT recently. I thought the longer after diagnosis the less likely for it to travel 😮We're you on blood thinners before you collapsed ?
@@cryptoslacker-464 no i wasnt on blood thinners, i felt a cramp in my calf which was unusual. After hospital i checked and the cramp in calf was a sign of a clot i ddint know..
@@marwin3332 I had a cramped half muscle in my left leg too after doing light running on a tread mill. I feel lucky I didn't go through what you did. Just DVT in my upper leg and now on blood thinners
@@cryptoslacker-464 no i wasnt. its been 1year 2 months since collapse im on 2 a day now
Blood clot progression through the veins from the lower leg to the lungs (left leg example):
8:00 - blood flows up the left popliteal vein, which turns into the...
8:20 - left femoral vein, which turns into the...
8:35 - left external iliac vein
9:05 - left external and left internal iliac veins join to form the left common iliac vein (right and left internal iliac veins on the opposite side join to form the right common iliac vein opposite)
9:11 - left and right common iliac veins join to form the inferior vena cava
9:27 - "are you noticing a pattern here, these blood vessels are getting bigger and bigger and bigger as we go, so if a thrombus breaks off and becomes an embolus, and floats through these blood vessels, it's passage becomes easier and easier because the blood vessels are getting bigger and bigger."
9:57 - inferior vena cava flows into the heart
10:13 - interior vena cava drains blood into the right atrium
10:22 - blood flows from right atrium to right ventricle
10:30 - blood flows from right ventricle through the pulmonary truck/pulmonary vessel
11:05 - blood flows from pulmonary trunk/vein into the lungs
11:23 - pulmonary arteries enter lungs and immediately branch out, getting smaller and smaller, causing the embolus or broken off clot to get lodged there
Your videos are so helpful, easy to understand, and interesting. Thank you!
Fascinating as always sir. Thank you.
This video was of particular interest to me as I am a myelomeningocele with poor bilateral lower limb musculature and, in 1976, I developed a touch of gangrene in my left great, third and fourth toes. Presumably because of the impaired nerves, it was not a painful condition for me, though the very real possibilty of above knee amputation was "exciting" and the heart rate went up a bit for a while when that was suggested.
I was prescribed bed rest and peripheral vaso-dilators and after a bit of trimming of the ischemic bits and an open bilateral lumbar sympathectomy, no further treatment was needed.
I thought this story might be of interest but if not, I apologise for being a clot!
Blessings and peace
This is a stressful topic, and I REALLY appreciate the very mellow and calming presentation in this video! This will be my go-to channel for any anatomical questions in the future :)
I just recently started watching your videos, and I am already a huge fan. What a marvelous teacher you are 😊. I am a new subscriber btw .
Thanks so much for the fully understandable explanation. I am watching this video while I'm in hospital for this issue. No Doctors have time to explain us like you are doing. Millions Thanks 😊
I left the hospital with no proper explanations also.
This was amazing. Just diagnosed last night with a small blood clot but not DVT mine is in a vein closer to the surface and extremely painful. this video really helped me understand what needs to happen or for something else more drastic happens. your explanations on the anatomy in this video was done very well. it will give me some basis of understanding when I go and visit with my doctor today and figure out a treatment plan.
Loved the video, well explained with necessary visual aids/models. excellent!
January of 2020, I became so sick off and on. I was fatigued, had rapid heartrate, night sweats, shortness of breath, fevers up to 104, body aches, double vision, but each time I would present to a clinic all my vitals would be just fine and they said I had a "virus" so they couldn't give me anything. I finally went to our local ER (where I volunteer) a couple of times and the lovely doctors said, "Are you anxious", of course, I'm anxious!! I saw a Vascular Surgeon and he treated me with a dismissive attitude and said I was fine. Finally, on February 22, after a day of volunteering at our local hospital I knew we were slammed in our ER, so I told my husband I had to go to a ER and now. We went to a new free-standing ER about 2 miles from house and luckily there were only 3 patients and me. I tell the ER doctor all the others visits and that every time my vitals would come back 'just fine', but I actually BEGGED him to please believe me that something was wrong with me. He walked out and a nurse came in and said, "The doctor wants another vial of blood", I said take as many as you want. About 20 minutes later the nurse comes back in and says we're taking you to our CT scan. After that it was about 20 minutes later and the doctor walks and leans against the counter with folded arms...not a good sign. He proceeds to tell me I have two acute PE's, one in the upper left lobe and one in the lower right lobe. I was taken my ambulance to a heart and stroke hospital where they discovered the DVT in my right calf. I was terrified but finally felt vindicated from all the others who made me think I was crazy. I've had another DVT and three more PE's and I'm on Warfarin for life. I will forever be grateful for Dr. Jorgsenson
Thank God for your persistency. You know your body more than anyone else 🙏🏽
@MegaOnederful - Thank you. It was a hard road but I tell everyone to never give up if you think something isn't right no matter what doctor's tell you.
I had the same situation 3 months ago, I ruptured my Achilles tendon 7 months ago and was given a injection of some blood thinners which I had to administer daily for about 3 months, my supply finally ran out 2 weeks before I could get anymore so I ignored it, then all if a sudden I started getting breathless doing normal things, eventually I couldn't breath with chest arm and back pains, I became unconscious fir a while luckily my son was around and I stumbled out of the bathroom and he saw the state of me and dialled 999,fortunately ambulance was there in about 8 minutes ,I was conscious but not alert, in hospital usual blood samples ,everything looked ok but I was still having trouble breathing though the oxygen mask helped, ct scan should bloodclots on both lungs ,dr told me I was very lucky to be alive ,they dud what they had to and after 3 days sent me home, I'm on blood thinning tablets which sometimes cause balance problems , generally feeling better but still get breathless and have anxiety issues
I am doing my best to learn all these terms and your videos are so helpful to have the explanation and a visual. I'm addicted now. Thank you for what you do.
My 11 year old daughter died 2019 due to Pulmonary embolism 😥am still trying to learn about this even now..
That’s just terrible! I’m so sorry. 😣

thank you! on Saturday I was admitted to hospital with a suspected pulmonary embolism 4 weeks after contracting covid. I had no symptoms of a DVT. The first symptoms for me was intense fatigue, breathlessness. It was frightening. Thankfully, the wonderful hospital staff sorted me out. Covid, the gift that keeps on giving.
Excellent explanation and very sympathetic presentation, thank you!
Great educational video & simple to understand. I had a pe 10+ yrs ago post surgery. Awesome to know how & what it passed thru.
Another very informative video! Thank you Sam
I'm so glad that I found your channel!😭❤️
This is so informative. And so helpful. Thank you for taking the time to post it. You're an excellent instructor.
I am a 1st year adult nursing student, this video is very useful for me as I had my first placement in Stroke Unit Rehab. It’s all well explained thank you very much.
Passed my exams ,, but still watching your video's ✌️✌️ tq for the great lectures
Absolutely love your vids, thankyou so much for your entertaining and educational format of sharing your knowledge, much appreciated. 🇦🇺
What are the incredibly good teacher this man is.
As always, excellent video! You’ve taught me during my prerequisites, and now during nursing school. Thank you, sir! Love from California!
Thanks for the help. This was very informative. I'm 33 and had a PE. I hope it's not from a blood disorder.
Thank you so much for explaining things. I was diagnosed with a DVT in May after telling my doctor and the surgeon that there was something wrong when I went to emergency and was told I have a DVT this explains all lot more than any of the doctor's here in Canada 🇨🇦 thanks again 😊😊😊
Thanks so much for your thorough and clear explanations!! Very helpful
Great and one of the best videos I have even seen. I found this video more valuable and effective and information enriched as opposed to Personally going though the hospitals and specialists and doctors and etc etc …. Excellent video, clarity, simplistic language, honesty, and most importantly subject matter expert is truly a bliss
Thanks Sam very much, great video on DVT, you explain it very well, its great to learn about something and be able to really understand it. Not many videos on CZcams do the same. I will tell ppl. about your website.
Brilliantly explained.
Thank you for your videos. I'm taking the board exam for physical therapist assistant certification and your videos have assisted my review of information.
Exellent explanation. !
Thank you very much.
Thank you for your teaching!!!! I love these videos.
My husband passed away from a DVT we believe. He had three open heart surgeries in his life so there was already issues with his his health. Three years ago he went out to shovel heavy snow and ended up with calf pain. His mother and I both told him it could be a blood clot but he did not call his doctor and passed two days after his 67th birthday and 3 days before Christmas. Now friends, he was already fed up with doctors and hospitals and infections around his heart. It was a quick way for him to go and that's how he wanted it. We miss him so much!! ❤ 😍
Seams you were narrating my story, Heart burn, severe asthma, right foot hurting, Just walked intoA&E just for check up, only to require X-rays and scans - clot in right lung. Immediately on thinners Having more exercises . Hopefully Okay
Many thanks, it is a very good video, you make medicine more interesting.
Thanks. Very well explained.
Your explanation was excellent for us no so smart folk.
U are a great teacher and explain ed this so easily.
Thanks
I will be watching more of your videos
Love this channel.🔥
you are a superb teacher
You have a new subscriber in me. Great explanation of what a blood clot is and why it's so dangerous if unchecked. Thanks a million.
What you said is right because I have a blood clot in my leg please help me remove it naturally
You are the best, very well explained
👌
This has really helped me ...Thanks so much
perfect explanation! thank you.
Awesome overview
I was sitting in the office on a Monday, having returned to a flight from South America the previous Friday, and noticed my left lower knee was sore, but I couldn't recall any insult or injury to explain the pain. Curious, I googled "leg pain" & "air travel" and immediately found DVT. Jumped out of my chair, told my boss I was going to the med center and soon found out I, indeed, had a number of blood clots! Lovinox to start, followed by Heparin 6-month treatment. What I learned was that spending a week at above 8000 ft tends to thicken the blood and then not moving or getting up over a 6+ hr flight are a recipe for DVT. Now I make sure and mimic Michael Flatley doing the River Dance in the aisle when I fly!
thank you so much for doing these lessons studying wantabe RMT.
Thank you that was very beneficial
I recently had a DVT, PE, etc. Thanks for the explanation. After several tests, doctors are still trying to determine the cause. Anyways, my body is recovering with no damage to my heart, although the right heart had stopped working. I am a walking miracle.
Much informative🧡💫💫💫
Great explanation
Just lost my father in law to this last night 😞
I’m so sorry!
I'm sorry abot that my friend
Excellent explanation!!. How much time does it take for it to reach from leg to lungs?
Thank you for your explanation. Did a doppler due to burning of my feet. Retrograde flow was noted at the SFJ with reflux time at 1.5 secs. What does this mean?
When I cut myself, I bleed for a long time. Does this mean that I wouldn’t be prone to blood clots? Thanks
thanks very easy to understand 😊👍
Rly good teacher
regards from Portugal 🇵🇹
I am currently recovering from having 20 pe's removed from both lungs. It was done like a heart cath, but wires/tube went into the lungs. Watched the whole thing...I have been treated for acute asthma for years, and now I am wondering if it was blood clots...ever since my procedure I have had no breathing issues.
Oh, and I still have a DVT in my left leg. Rx'd Eliquis.
I feel like typing so here is my near death experience and 5 years later still not out of the woods. 45, 180, Former pilot who did a lot of sitting but active. Injured my back, 2 surgeries gained 30 pounds. Years later I started feeling aches in my left leg when getting up but thats normal... Then one morning when I got out of bed my left leg felt like concrete. The inner thigh down past the knee was red, swollen and warm to the touch. Went to my Doc who immediately put me in a wheel chair and taken to a CT scan. I could hear the tech's voice and actions that she was concerned and should be. There was a 3 and 1/2 foot blood clot. A lung scan revealed 2 PE each lung. No action taken because of their location/size.
Emergency removal and I was sedated fent/verset not put asleep . I can only describe the removal as being Mexican cartel torture level. I passed out numerous times and thought I was dying. On my belly while a line was inserted behind my knee and what looked like a "vacuum" used to pull the large clot out. It was HUGE and looked like thinly cut fatty red meat. 3 -4 hours of pure hell. I was told the clot broke up and went through my heart and could have killed me. Then broke into 2 pieces into each lung which could have killed me. Heart has some damage. 4 days later I left and know take Eliquis for life. I was told NOT to go on ladders as a blow to the head could kill me. My leg is partially numb, sciatica with my calf muscle being 4x larger than the right leg. So yeah... Don't sit for long periods. Is that what caused this? Will never know but it couldn't have helped. That + 2 back surgeries, weight gain+ increased inactivity definitely raised the chances.
Thank you sir! You explained it better than my Dr . I have a DVT left calf currently on eliquis
Thank you. You gave me a laugh with this video while I'm lying here with a clot! Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic film and for raising awareness of a serious medical problem that hasn't gotten enough attention.
Blood clots commonly develop in the leg for two major reasons: first, excessive blood sugar; second, inactivity.
With developing COVID, this lethal combo nearly killed many from overweight people.
In general, lowering blood sugar is essential and provides better results than using solely blood thinners because blood thinners can be risky for overweight persons if other risk factors are not addressed. Blood clots in the legs can be broken up by a high dose of blood thinners in overweight patients, which can cause the smaller clots to travel to the lung and worsen matters rapidly.
Natural blood thinners, in my opinion, provides better answer because they disintegrate blood clots while also sending them to the kidneys for removal from the bloodstream. For this reason in an emergency situation, blood thinner should be administered combined with serum to help the kidneys cleanse the blood.
In this situation, routine blood donation is the simplest solution to a dangerous issue and can save people' lives.
Would it be possible for a blood clot in the leg end up in the brain and cause a stroke?
I'm in my last year of high school and it's break till the 3rd and today one of my friends passed away due to a bloodclot
Excellent explanation. Thank you for the information.
I have bilateral PE. Doctors didn't explain anything to me while hospitalised. Well.... doctors don't explain anything to start with.
Doctors are busy saving lives.. why are ppl so stupid.. if you want attention get it some where else.. insecure idiots
A great explanation, thank you p.s. I got DVT + PE + renal embolism, was initially diagnosed as pneumonia
As it is traveling through the the pelvic and abdominal area- does it cause any symptoms or is it ‘silent’?
So I got a few blood clots in legs but I am still doing yoga I ask am I ok to do this?
I just found out this weekend that I have 5 blood clots...3 in my left leg(1 at the top part of my leg on the side, 1 behind my knee, and 1 is a dvt and 2 in my lungs( 1 in each side of my lungs...1 is in the middle part of my left lung and the other is somewhere in 1 of the 2 on the right side lung)...also my liver has a high enzyme count...my leg is showing the signs that I do have dvt...would I need surgery on the dvt? I was put on blood thinners but I don't know if it will help with the dvt...what is your opinion?
Had a dvt at 21 and a PE. Still have issues with my lungs and chronic pneumonia. On my leg i also had blue almost like bruise marks accross the vein.
They sucked 90 percent of my vlot out of my leg and they used clot buster to get the rest. They put an umbrella through my neck so it wouldn't move any to my heart and lungs. The lung clots were also disovled. Veins are still permanently damaged 😢
Question: Once a thrombosis is formed, say in the lower leg, can't it dissolve?
Thank you for lovely talk.
Yes
I'm in the hospital right now and I'm alive. I know how the clot traveled from the leg to the lung, but I don't know how the second clot reached the artery in the other leg
Question I have going into this: Is the lung the place where an embolism actually causes major issues, and thats why its the most talked about embolism, or is there something special about the lung that makes it a good net for emboli?
The answer seems to be the later. The lung is a great net for DVTs.
Excellent
Thnx a lot 4 sharing your knowledge with us! I have swirls & wonder why! 😵💫
Amazing
Will miss you whole week
Where can we buy those anatonmy models from?
I wish I had seen this video 2 years ago. I am looking around for information regarding many "DVTs'" that have begun surfacing, along with the pulmonary signs and symptoms. The other two that-in an emergency-might be thrown in the mix are compartment syndrome and rhabdo. Early identification and misidentification is made easier by so many symptoms being so very similar. is it safe to say that pre-planning would include blood clotting agents ( If they are currently taking blood thinners), tourniquets, and aspirin, O2 if feasible (with an I-Gel, King, Combi, whatever protocol permits) , and be prepared to have that individual on the way to definitive care within minutes. We deal with these more and more often in the younger "vakkspositive" generation. Especially the athletic ones. Sore legs are a red light and represent immediate evacuation considerations.
Is this a safe rule of thumb: Due to the rapid progression of respiratory (and possibly some coronary) failures and the common method and manner of mortality (JUST DROPPING DEAD), signs, and symptoms in a number of different syndromes and other medical, VIRAL, and "REACTIONS" to meds and VACCINES-should be treated as a PE in progress and focus primarily on imminent respiratory failure. I hate to say this, but it is true, and we just need to be a little more prepared. It's not a problem at all. It can happen at your next family gathering and some 8 year old child drops. Respiratory first. Great instruction.
This was absolutely lifesaving. Covid related issues are now our responsibility to identify quickly and be prepared to deal with in the worst of scenarios.
Thanks, hope to get more info so we can pass it on.
Brilliant
Can the clot be broken down by deep tissue massage ?
I’m 22 I had a PE at the age of 19. I was misdiagnosed at the ER 2 times in one week and was given Ativan and Xanax because they thought I had anxiety. Turns out I had the PE from birth control (they think). But I always wondered if my PE first passed through my heart and if that was what a heart attack feels like. I would imagine so.
Sir what are the treatments
Amazing teacher-I would def have a crush on him if I was in his class too 🤭
What is the best medication for that because that is exactly what I am going through
How long does the clot take to travel through the leg? Can you feel it move?
I wonder the same
Angela Duvall, I think my lung PEs started about 4-5 months prior to going to my lungs. It started with a charley horse that I ignored about 5 months prior. The weeks before I had trouble breathing and no strength to lift anything.
I from India. Your video very best I'm subscribe channel
