Surgeon-urologist, andrologist, oncourologist Mark Gadziyan recalled that a blood test for a tendency to thrombosis can save a person's life, given that the majority of the population has had a coronavirus, even if asymptomatically.
What vascular complications are especially dangerous after coronavirus? These are thromboses, especially with stenosis – narrowing of blood vessels, and ruptures of aneurysms (protrusion of the vessel wall with its thinning).
A blood clot can provoke instant death, the doctor emphasized in his blog. According to him, people “die in seconds.” He urged not to ignore such an unobvious symptom as “anxious feeling in the chest.” This may be a sign of thrombosis.
Clots can appear due to a sedentary lifestyle, bad habits, chronic diseases. Thrombosis factors include birth control, pregnancy, and obesity.
Possible causes of thrombosis:
- age over 40;
- obesity;
- bed rest;
- lack of exercise;
- long travel in a sitting position;
- smoking;
- taking hormonal drugs;
- use of certain medications , for example, Diazepam, Amiodarone, Vancomycin;
- pregnancy.
