Blood Clots in Veins, Heart, Lungs, and Legs.

Blood has a seemingly impossible job: It must flow continuously and smoothly throughout your body for an entire lifetime, but quickly shut off to prevent spills when you get a cut or injury.
Blood clots do not discriminate. They affect people of all ages, race and gender. One of the most important things you can do to prevent blood clots is to know if you are at risk.
A blood clot when the blood thickens to a gel-like consistency is a natural part of healing when you cut yourself. 
But it also can threaten your life if it forms within the body where it can slow or even stop the flow of blood.
Normal blood clots happen whenever there’s an injury to the cells lining blood vessels. However, abnormal blood clots can form if there are unusual variations in blood flow, such as those caused by conditions including valvulitis and aneurysm, or because of conditions that cause blood to clot unnecessarily, such as leukemia or Factor V mutation.
Coronary thrombosis can occur when arteries become clogged with cholesterol and fat, making it difficult for blood to flow through.
Risk factors for blood clots include:
Obesity
Pregnancy
Sitting for extended periods of time
Smoking
Oral contraceptives
Injury or surgery
Age (increased risk for people over age 60)
A family history of blood clots
Chronic inflammatory diseases
Warning signs of clots, and simple exercises to help prevent them:
1.Swelling, cramping, pain, discoloration and/or warmth in a leg or arm could be a sign of a clot known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis).
2.Headaches, seizures and confusion can signal loss of circulation to the brain.
3.Severe pain in the chest could indicate a pulmonary embolism or a heart attack, depending on where the pain is.
4.Labored breathing and a rapid pulse could signify a clot in a lung or your heart.
5.Sit upright and extend both feet, about inches from the floor. Extend both arms in front and keep them shoulder height. Rotate the feet and hands 20 repetitions to the left, then repeat to the right.
6.Point your toes toward the floor and then flex up at the ankles. At the same time, make a fist with each hand and flick your fingers out as if you are throwing something away, repeating 20 times.
7.Finish by bending over and massaging your lower legs for one minute.
8.Sit at the edge of your seat or even the bed if you’re recovering from a long illness and march in place to improve blood flow, build strength, and lubricate the hips. The impact of your feet on the floor will stimulate blood flow to the feet.

.On behalf of the members of Devanga Sangha, Devanga Hostel Road Bengaluru, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to our founding members for devoting their time and resources for establishing Devanga Sangha Bengaluru in the year 1923/24.
