Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) presents with five warning signs: one-sided leg swelling, persistent deep calf pain, warm/red/discolored skin over the painful area, rope-like vein under the skin, and most dangerously, sudden shortness of breath or chest pain indicating the clot has traveled to the lungs (pulmonary embolism), which is a life-threatening medical emergency requiring immediate medical attention.

5 DVT Signs You Should NEVER Ignore (The 5th Can Kill You)Added:
A tiny blood clot in your legs can reach your lungs and kill you in minutes. Here is how to catch it before it happens.
I'm Dr. Vijay Thakur, vascular surgeon.
I want you to know these five DVT signs.
Wait for the fifth and the most dangerous one. One, swelling in one leg, not in both. DVT almost never affects both legs equally. Two, deep pain in your calf or cramp that doesn't go away even when you're resting. Three, skin that is warm, red, or discolored even over the painful area. Four, hard rope-like vein or cord you can feel just beneath the skin. Five, the most dangerous one. Sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, that means the clot has already moved to your lungs. This is a medical emergency. Call for help immediately. If you or someone you know has any of these signs, please do not wait. See a vascular specialist immediately. Save this video. It could save a life.
