Answer 2

I want for you to see a doctor right way. This blood clot business is very SERIOUS!!! When you see the doctor, you will have better resolve that you saw a doctor and took care of yourself. I know that you have great common sense because you are asking questions. Frankly, years ago, I suffered a (TIA) Transcient Ischemic Attack. This is a "moving clot" that usually is NOT harmful IF it keeps moving. Any clot that 'sits' in the way of blood flow is not a good thing. This happened to me in May 1992. Luckily, I had spoken with a friend who had told me just a week before about the value of apple cider vinegar. The week before Memorial Day in that year, I was "blind" when I awoke. I could hardly move. Then I remembered the conversation that I had about the "dark vinegar." I summoned my family to bring the half gallon jug of apple cider vinegar. Of course, I was desperate so I drank a larger amount than suggested. Guess what? It worked! I continue to take a teaspoon of the dark vinegar with meals each and every day. Sometimes, when I am not hungry, then I take a large glass of regular or herbal tea, and add the dark vinegar to it. I have done 16 years past the day that I should have gone back to my Maker. I am grateful to have been given the knowledge to carry on. What shall we then say to these things? If GOD be for us, WHO can be against us? - Romans 8:31. The Lord daily loadeth us with BENEFITS, even the GOD of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19. I wish for you and your loved ones, a most prosperous, healthy and Happy New Year. Peace!!

A Blood Clot is nothing to play the waiting game with. Essentially it can travel to your heart or your lungs and death is immediate!!!!
Do not wait another second, go to the emergency room NOW! There is a treatment that they can administer that will SAVE YOUR LIFE!
An inferior vena cava filter, also IVC filter a type of vascular filter, is a medical device that is implanted into the inferior vena cava to prevent pulmonary emboli (PEs). The inferior vena cava (or IVC) is the large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower half of the body into the heart. It is posterior to the abdominal cavity and runs along side of the vertebral column on its right side (i.e. it is a retroperitoneal structure). It enters the right atrium at the lower right, back side of the heart. IVC filters are used in case of contraindication to anticoagulation, failure of anticoagulation or complication to anticoagulation in patients who have a venous thromboembolism disease or in a prophylatic use for patients with high risk of pulmonary embolism.
IVC filters are placed endovascularly, meaning that they are inserted via the blood vessels. Historically, IVC filters could only be placed via the groin. With modern filters which can be compressed into much thinner catheters, however, access to the venous system can be obtained either via the femoral vein (the large vein in the groin) or the internal jugular vein (the large vein in the neck.) Choice of route depends mainly on the amount and location of blood clot within the venous system. To place the filter, a catheter is guided into the IVC using fluoroscopic guidance, then the filter is pushed through the catheter and deployed into the desired location, usually just below the junction of the IVC and the lowest renal vein. Most IVC filters are permanent, but some filters are now available that are "retrievable." Retrievable filters are fitted with some sort of device (that varies from model to model) that allows them to be pulled back into a catheter (technically a "sheath") and removed from the body. In general, filters must have been in the IVC for less than three weeks to attempt retrieval, as filters that have been in place longer will be overgrown by cells from the IVC wall and there is increased risk of IVC injury if the filter is dislodged.
