Hi. my aunt says that her legs are warm when she lays down. she's a hypochondriac who thinks she has dvt. she wants to know if it's dvt or nothing?

Ultrasound: Very reliable testing is available. Dvt in lower extremities is rare unless there is substantial swelling. Warm legs are not the major symptom.
