how to get rid of blood clots - #21578
I am really worried about my health lately. About a month ago, I had this really bad pain in my leg, which I thought was just a muscle cramp but the doc said it might be a blood clot. Like, what!? I didn’t even know I was at risk for that. The doc ran some tests and confirmed there was a clot, but didn’t really give me much guidance on how to deal with it. I’ve heard stories about how serious blood clots can be and I just want to know how to get rid of blood clots safely. I've been doing some reading online, and it’s all kind of confusing. They talk about anticoagulants and compression socks and stuff, but I’m not sure if that’s just for prevention or if that's how to get rid of blood clots too. I tried to make sense of it all, but honestly, it feels overwhelming. Am I just supposed to be patient and let the medicine work, or are there things I can do myself at home? Any advice on how to get rid of blood clots fast or more effectively would mean a lot—like, can dietary changes make a difference or is it all about medication? I'm feeling pretty anxious about this all!
