Deep Vein Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot, also known as thrombus, forms in one or more of the deep veins in the body, especially legs.

Symptoms include:

– Swelling and pain in one leg, rarely in both the legs

– Reddened, warm skin around the affected area

– Swollen veins, hard and painful to touch

In certain, more serious cases, a piece of the clot can break and travel to the lungs, causing chest pain and shortness of breath. This is also called pulmonary embolism or PE.
