What You
Should Know About DVT
No
matter where
you like to vacation or what activities you enjoy, the fact remains you
have to get there and back. For many, this could mean long hours in a
cramped plane, car or train. With this comes the risk of blood clots.
DVT,
or deep vein thrombosis, is a blood clot that can develop when sitting
for an extended period of time. The condition is serious, potentially
fatal and very difficult to diagnose by external examination. Symptoms,
if they occur, might include muscle tension in the lower leg, a dull
ache or sudden painful tear, or a cramp in the calf with swelling and
elevated body temperature. "Research shows that even those in better
than average health are at risk," said Paul Amatangelo, compression
hosiery specialist, AmesWalker.com.
To
help decrease
your risk, Paul suggests wearing high-quality Microfiber Firm Support
Travel Socks. Graduated compression legwear, like these travel socks,
applies decreasing pressure from the ankle to the knee, forcing blood
to the leg's deep veins, reducing pooling of blood and maintaining
proper flow rate of blood to the heart and lungs.
For many long-distance travelers, compression legwear can be a healthy
step in the right direction.
