7 Symptoms of Deep Vein Thrombosis

Numb Hands

Upper extremity DVT can express symptoms like numb hands [5]. This is closely related with carpal tunnel [6] but not the same. The hands feel numb and weak. The patient feels like they have lost sensitivity to their hands. Some patients may feel like the motion of their hands is unusually slow and unresponsive as they want.

Conclusion

Deep vein thrombosis is usually not a condition to worry about, but certainly needs urgent medical attention. Regular checkups would help you diagnose it earlier when symptoms are unexpressed. Medications, exercises, and surgery are options your doctor would recommend for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis. The recommended treatment is determined by the severity of your condition and the possible complications that could arise from your DVT
