Symptoms of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

What is DVT?

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition where a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg. While it can affect anyone, early detection is vital to prevent life-threatening complications like pulmonary embolism (PE). At Comfort Scan, we provide home-based ultrasound services that help detect DVT quickly and conveniently—no hospital wait times or stressful travel.

Key Symptoms of DVT

  • Swelling (Usually in One Leg) : Sudden or gradual swelling, especially in the calf or thigh.
  • Pain or Tenderness: A cramping or sore sensation in the leg, worse with walking or movement.
  • Warm Skin: The area around the clot may feel warm to the touch.
  • Red or Discoloured: Skin A reddish or bluish skin tone may appear near the clot.
  • Prominent Veins: Veins may look larger, more visible, or feel firm.

Emergency Warning Signs of a Pulmonary Embolism

If a clot travels to the lungs, it can cause a pulmonary embolism—a life-threatening emergency. Call 999 or seek urgent care if you notice:

  • Sudden shortness of breath
  • Sharp chest pain when breathing
  • Rapid pulse
  • Coughing up blood
