What causes the blood blockage in the leg?
Patient: hi doctor my mother taken 6mg acitrom my mother left leg has blood bolcked  doctor check  it PTR & INR to take the tablet acitrom 6mg and take to belt.my mother taken belt .she is use daily.side effect is heart pain she told heart pain and sleeping not well any solution doctor pls tell me my e-mail id  YYYY@YYYY Doctor: Hi,Thanks for asking.Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Endothelial damage,  increased coagulating factors or change in blood movement within the vessel commonly leads onto thrombosis. This thrombus blocks the blood vessel.2. Due to reduced activity of your mother, blood movement would have slowed down resulting in formation of thrombus.3. INR needs to evaluated to maintain at a higher level of 2-2.5 during anti-coagulation therapy. If she has any breathlessness, meet your doctor immediately.Hope it helps.Any further queries, happy to help again.
