Question 1

i have bad seasonal allergies. when i rinse my sinuses small blood clots in the mucus come out sometimes. what should i do? am i just dry?

Accepted Answer

Dry sinuses: It is normal to develop dry sinuses in the winter as all the humidity is extracted from the air. I recommend purchasing a humidifier and setting the humidity between 40-70% in your home or bedroom. This will help you without requiring you to take any medications.

Question 2

how can a blood clot cause a heart stroke?

Accepted Answer

Heart stroke: A heart stroke is also known as a myocardial infarction or heart attack. A blood clot forms in a heart blood vessel. This cuts off flow to a part of the heart and that part dies. This can cause pain, rhythm and pumping disturbances. These things can result in disability or death.

Question 3

why do blood clots often lead to heart strokes?

Accepted Answer

By : Impairing the circulation of blood to the heart. 

 Btw, usually the word "stroke" is used when it is brain and "infarction" is used for heart.  In reality, they are the basically the same thing.

Question 4

blood clot in leg, possible for a stroke to result?

Accepted Answer

Blood clot to lung: Blood clots in the leg are from venous stasis in the venous system - a little different than what causes a cva, which can be bleeding or a thrombus in the arterial system.  Both may be treated with anticoagulation.

Question 5

how likely is that a blood clot on a leg causes a stroke?

Accepted Answer

Quite unlikely: Blood clots in the leg(also known as DVTs) when the move, move towards the heart and tend to settle in the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolus(lung blood clot).  It usually takes a transition through an uncommon hole in the heart for a DVT to spread to the brain to cause a stroke.  Not impossible but very uncommon.

Question 6

how can the coronavirus (covid-19) cause blood clots significant enough to cause strokes?

Accepted Answer

COVID 19: Blood clots may form anywhere in the body with COVID 19 and then the clot can travel to lungs or brain.   Clots impacting the brain can cause strokes.

Question 7

can you take yasmin after age 35? what is the risk of blood clots and strokes? or other risks?

Accepted Answer

YES: Sometimes used for menopusaql symptoms, cycle regulation as well as BC. This is a low dose pill,nonetheles blood clots and strokes have been reported. Consult your GYN.

Question 8

had stroke from 1.4cm blood clot in the limbic system. how long will it take for the clot to dissolve on its own?

Accepted Answer

: Blood clots inside the body usually resolve in a matter of a few days.
Our blood is equiped with certain enzymes/proteins which have the ability to dissolve blood clots such that these will not be visible after 1-5 days but it all depends on the size of the blood clot.

Question 9

if you get a blood clot in the leg, can it cause a stroke (artery)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A blood clot in the leg is typically in a vein and if it dislodges it may go to the heart. Most of the time it will pass through the heart and go to the lung. This is known as a pulmonary embolus. In some people it may pass through one side of the heart to the other and then go into the arterial blood system, even to the brain where it may cause a stroke.

Question 10

is it common for hickeys to cause blood clots or strokes?

Accepted Answer

: No. These blood stains are localized under the skin surface. The blood breaks down over time and the staining is gradually removed. This does not travel to or form a clot inside an artery which would be the origin of a stroke.
