A member asked:

My mom has a blood clot in her jugular vein& is coughing up blood & blood clots. the dr is saying that a clot in that vein is not serious is that true?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Venous thrombosis: can be lethal if the the blood clot in the vein travels to the heart, lungs or brain. Please get a second opinion. Coughing up blood ( hemoptysis) is particularly worrisome in view of a jugular venous clot.
