Im 19 & since i started college... i am very sedentary. i'll stay in bed for days at a time. am i at increased risk for dvt?

Depression : Appears of concern more than DVT at this time. I assume you still get up to eat and use the bathroom. For a 19 year old college student definitely not the activity level that would be expected. Would recommend using the Student Health Center for a health assessment and further recommendations.
