Uedvt: I wil ask the history of what happen, how it starts the symptoms, probably swelling of upper extremities, and examine your arms, neck and chest beside usual whole body examination as need. I will review whatever you had study as u/s or ct scan or prepare order these if you donn.T have. Also i will review what medication you are on such as blood thinner and will order blood works and anticoagulants.

Ultrasound : To confirm the diagnosis Probably venogram and thrombolysis of clot to see if it would dissolve depending on the age of clot
