Pregnancy is a major risk factor for the development of dangerous blood clots. Women who are pregnant or who have just given birth are at increased risk for blood clots.

The memory of this beautiful young woman, Alexandra Rowan, constantly inspires me to share more and do more. Ladies... know your risk for blood clots, especially if you take hormonal birth control and everyone, know the signs and symptoms of blood clots. Learn more from @stoptheclot and @womenandclots.
Repost from @stoptheclot: During dinner with a family friend the evening before she passed away due to a massive pulmonary embolism, Alexandra Rowan did mention that she was “feeling tired,” but she did not suggest that she was experiencing any of the signs or symptoms of a blood clot in her lung. While about one-third of people will not experience the most common signs or symptoms of a blood clot, many other people do experience symptoms but may be unaware of what they mean or indicate. Recognition of blood clot signs and symptoms can be life-saving. During Women’s Health Month, please take a few minutes to watch and share the important information about blood clot signs and symptoms: More info to share in our profile link.

There are options for how to manage symptoms of menopause without the use of estrogen, which can increase a woman’s risk for life-threatening blood clots.

Birth control patches and rings with estrogen pose an even greater blood clot risk than pills with estrogen, because the amount of estrogen absorbed from the patches is reported to be 60% higher than the amount of estrogen delivered by pills. Know your options for birth control and talk to your doctor

A stroke can happen when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked. The sooner you recognize the signs of a stroke and get someone to the hospital, the greater the chances are of reducing the risk of disability and even death. Can you spot the signs of a stroke? Use the acronym F.A.S.T and also be on the lookout for changes in balance or vision.

Alexandra Rowan had just completed a double major in writing and communications and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh when a massive pulmonary embolism or blood clot in her lung took her life. Like many women, she had no idea that hormonal birth control could increase her risk for a deadly blood clot. During Women’s Health Month, please take a moment to learn more and share the information about blood clot risks. Alexandra’s father, David Rowan, recently penned a book in her memory to help do the same.

Jeri Ward was only 30 years old when she had a life-altering clot-provoked stroke. She had a headache for five consecutive days with no relief. One evening, she was sitting on the couch with her husband, when she felt a loud pop and heard a fizzing sound in her head, similar to firecracker. It was followed by extreme dizziness and blurry vision. She was unable to move or speak for several seconds, and once she did, her words made on sense: Jeri was terrified. She got to the hospital ten minutes later and was diagnosed with blood clots in the frontal lobe of her brain. Doctors told her ten minutes longer may have been too late.

#Repost @stoptheclot with @repostsaveapp ・・・ A blood clot in one of the large veins, usually in a person’s leg or arm, is called a deep vein thrombosis or DVT. When a blood clot like this forms, it can partly or completely block the flow of blood or blood circulation in the body. If this clot is not treated, it can move or break off and travel to the lungs. A blood clot in the lung is called a pulmonary embolism or PE, and can cause death and requires immediate medical attention.
