If the clot remains at the site of formation in the vein, it will not affect the blood pressure. If it dislocates and gets into the lungs it could problems from shortness of breath, bloody cough, high blood pressure in lungs to sudden death.

Why am I so weak? Out of breath easily, legs and arms are very weak, and hard to walk without a fast heart rate. Blood pressure ok. Can barely eat but eating as best as I can. Is this heart or anxiety?
