Meanwhile, certain medications and diseases can lead to a thickening of the blood due to various mechanisms, with the potential risk of DVT.
“The virus creates an inflammatory state, which can lead to blood clotting too easily,” Nation said. “It also causes direct endothelial injury to the lung tissue — damage to the cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels — that can release signals into the bloodstream that stimulate clot formation.”
People who’ve recovered and are being discharged from the hospital don’t need routine preventative measures for anticoagulation. “These symptoms may seem unrelated to blood clots in the legs, but they may portend early warnings of a serious DVT blood clot in the making,” Lee said.
