A clot blocks blood circulation through these veins, which carry blood from the lower body back to the heart. The blockage can cause acute pain, swelling, or warmth in the affected leg. Blood clots in the veins can cause inflammation (irritation) called thrombophlebitis. Severe complications of deep vein thrombosis occur when a clot breaks loose (or embolizes) and travels through the bloodstream, causing blockage of blood vessels (pulmonary arteries) in the lung.
Your risk of a blood clot can also be increased if you smoke or are overweight. Symptoms of having a blood clot include skin redness, swelling in only one leg, swelling or bruising behind the knee, localized soreness or pain, or having a warm spot on your leg. If the clot moves to the lungs you may experience shortness of breath, chest pains, a fast heartbeat, mild fever, or fainting spells.
