A doctor from Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital, Dr. Naveed Saqib, said 1,000,000 people a year experience blood clots in the U.S.“We flew to Boston, and then the next morning traveled to Vermont, and I had calf pain when we were walking around in Vermont,” she recalled.
She was eventually hospitalized and had surgery to remove a blood clot in her leg. Then, Dr. Saqib discovered some clots had already moved and become deadly. “Dr. Saqib said ‘I want to check your lungs, we’re going to do contrast CT scan again.’ So, he did that and found two blood clots in my lung and one sitting on my heart,” Lilley said. “Essentially, I’ve been kind of walking around as a little time bomb.”“I didn’t stay hydrated. I didn’t move during the three-hour flight because you’re just sitting there thinking ‘let me get there.
“We have a long time that we sit in the airport not walking around, waiting on your flight, then you take a flight, anything above two hours is time enough for the blood clots to form, so during those times of flights... the change of hemodynamics causes blood to pool in your legs,” Dr. Saqib explained.
