Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot develops in a deep vein, usually in the leg area. It can arise if you sit or lay down for long periods of time when you are recovering from a surgical procedure or ona long airplane flight. It can also be related to medications such as oral contraceptive pills or may be hereditary.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) arises if a blood clot break off and makes its way through your bloodstream into the lungs. The blood clot may obstruct a blood vessel in your lungs and cause significant damage.
