If you've already had a blood clot, some conditions can raise your chances of having another. What to know:
If you’ve had a deep vein thrombosis in one of your legs or arms, it’s sometimes normal for that limb to stay slightly swollen after treatment. After a clot in your lungs , you might feel mild pain or pressure in your chest.
But watch out for new or worse pain, pressure, or cramping in your calf. That could signal a new DVT. Shortness of breath or fainting could be signs of another PE. If you have any of these, call 911 and get medical care right away.
