To combat the rising dangers of Blood Clots from Deep Vein Thrombosis, Dr. Dana Digura has issued a notable caution. The letter, crafted in response to plane travelers preparing for long-haul journeys, highlights the risks and the steps others should take. DVT, a serious condition that can occur on planes due to prolonged immobility and reduced leg circulation, may pose a fatal risk.

Paragraph 1: The letter points out the high likelihood of encountering DVT during long flights, assigning it an alert to travelers. Drafted by Dr. Dana Digura, a foot surgeon with over a million followers on Instagram, the letter emphasizes personal health management to avoid dangerous scenarios.

Paragraph 2: The letter argues that DVT risks increase for women and men on pre-flight inspections, as wearing Seat Belts and testing for blood clotters are essential pre-flight procedures. It warns that blood clots, known as economic class syndrome, may arise in✖️ three hours, necessitating immediate action.

Paragraph 3: Dr. Diguraseals the door on her advice, stating that DVT is more likely for individuals on birth control pills, having mums or women by a tiger, with increased age, pregnancy increments, recent surgeries, smoking, and varicose veins. These factors significantly increase the chances of developing the condition.

Paragraph 4: The letter provides actionable steps to enhance safety during long flights:

  • Moving frequently: Encouraging individuals to take short walks or maintain slow walking is recommended to activate calf muscles and prevent clots in legs.
  • Foot manipulations: Suggest using foot pumps, calf raises, or ankle circles to activate blood flow.
  • Compression socks: These provide additional safety, helping reduce swelling and improve circulation, making them a valuable companion for weary travelers.

Paragraph 5: The letter recommends visiting the NHS website for detailed information on DVT risks and to contact a GP specializing in circulatory health. It emphasizes that compliance with safety guidelines from trusted vendors is crucial.

Paragraph 6: If symptoms of DVT, such as shortness of breath or chest pain, appear, contacting emergency services is necessary to guarantee immediate action towards safety.

Paragraph 7: The letter underscores the importance of personal responsibility upon boarding, advising travelers to prioritize health and adapt during dangerous social situations like long-haul flights. It encourages seeking crucial help from healthcare professionals to ensure safety.
