It’s estimated that between 60 000 and 100 000 people in the US die each year due to blood clots.
But despite how common it is, and despite the many medications available, there are still many people who die from blood clots. They either seek help too late – or not at all.
Of course, there are things we can do to take care of ourselves. Together we can help increase awareness – and being aware of the life-saving warning signals that your body sends out can hopefully encourage more people to seek treatment as early as possible.
