Blood clots can be very serious and need to be treated quickly, the NHS says.
They can pose a number of risks on different parts of the body when they form, with the severity rising as they move through the bloodstream. It is therefore extremely important to identify the condition in its earliest stage.
One form of a blood clot is deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which usually appears in the leg - and can be extremely dangerous, reports the Daily Record. The symptoms of these blood clots are often concentrated in the legs, that have formed deep inside the veins of the body.
