Tips for Thrombosis Sufferers
If a person has been diagnosed with thrombosis or has a history of this condition, it is recommended:
- Follow medical treatment to the letter: do not suspend or modify medications without prior consultation.
- Avoid a sedentary lifestyle: walk frequently, especially on long trips or periods of prolonged rest.
- Maintain a healthy diet: reduce the consumption of saturated fats, salt and sugars.
- Quit smoking: Tobacco greatly increases the risk of clot formation.
- Hydrate properly: drink enough water throughout the day.
- Wear compression stockings: if the doctor recommends it, to promote circulation in the legs.
- Perform regular check-ups: especially if you are taking blood thinners or have a family history of thrombosis.
Taking care of your cardiovascular health and knowing the warning signs can make all the difference. Thrombosis, although serious, is treatable and in many cases preventable with an active lifestyle, regular medical check-ups and healthy habits.
