PHOENIX (KSAZ) – The Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday periods are among the roughest long tail journey periods of the year.
During the six-day Thanksgiving travel period, the amount of from home, 50 kilometers or more excursions, increases by 54 per cent, and through New Year’s and the Christmas vacation period, the amount increases by 23 percent.
“We travel a lot, so I figure that I did not think of it because deep vein thrombosis because when we journey, you know, I have a baby aspirin once I get on the airplane or occasionally a complete aspirin,” Gene Giesaking explained.
Giesaking believed he took the precautions all when he required a very long flight which includes walking about, but that wasn’t the case.
“It wasn’t until I passed out as when I came into it I was breathing as though I’d run a mile, but that I had been sitting still,” he said.
Tests indicated Gene needed a blood clot, that the symptoms of which Dr. Penny Bowen claims could be caused by travel.
“If you’ve been on a very long car ride or been around a very long flight and you are experiencing sudden onset of shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, if these are symptoms which are new for you, especially in the event that you have the risk factor,” she said.
Dr. Bowen says with DVT, a clot forms in a individual’s calf or calf and travels up to their lungs.
“Consequently the blood clots travel into your lungs and they block blood circulation back into your lungs, and then they return to a heart and into the rest of your body,” she said.
If you are traveling this holiday season, Dr. Bowen says in case you smoke, are overweight, or have a family history of DVT, you can be at risk.
