Happy New Year! This Spring Festival can finally embark on the long-lost Spring Festival journey! Although the friends who have passed the disease already have antibodies in their bodies, they still cannot relax their awareness of virus protection . In addition, there is another health issue worthy of special attention during the long-distance journey- prevention of blood clots .
Simply put, people who have been infected with the new crown temporarily increase their risk of blood clots . Sitting still in cramped seats on long-distance travel is also one of the risk factors for venous blood clots. Therefore, if conditions permit, it is best to move your legs and feet frequently and take a walk in the car or plane. Scroll down to get the activity Dafa on the plane and train to ensure smooth blood flow and go home for the New Year!
People who have had the new crown are more prone to blood clots
Previous statistics have shown that infection with the new crown will increase people’s risk of thrombosis , and this change in blood coagulation may be related to the inflammatory response.
Of the various types of blood clots, the increased risk is most pronounced for venous blood clots . These blood clots can sometimes have serious consequences: A blood clot that forms in a leg vein, if dislodged, can travel through the bloodstream to the lungs, blocking the pulmonary artery and causing life-threatening oxygen deprivation. The risk of blood clots is related to the severity of COVID-19, especially among critically ill patients requiring hospitalization and ICU monitoring.

Even in mild cases, the risk of blood clots seems to become a little higher than without infection . For example, a statistic from the United Kingdom showed that the risk of venous thrombosis in people with mild symptoms of COVID-19 infection increased to 2.7 times that of uninfected people [1].
The increased risk of blood clots occurred mainly in the first 30 days after infection . However, some studies have also found that it may take several months for the risk to completely return to the level before infection [2].
be careful on long trips
In the general population, the annual incidence of deep vein thrombosis is about a few ten thousandths. Even if the risk is tripled, it is still a small probability event. Generally speaking, patients with mild COVID-19 and recovered patients do not need to routinely check blood coagulation function, nor do they need to take medicine to prevent blood clots [3].
However, when other risk factors appear at the same time, the situation is still worthy of vigilance. Being sedentary is also a risk factor for blood clots in the veins of the legs , which is very common during the Spring Festival travel season – because people need to travel for a long time.
Whether traveling by car or by plane, all long-distance travel longer than 4 hours may increase the risk of blood clots . Other factors that further increase the risk include: obesity, advanced age, pregnancy, varicose veins, recent surgery, and more.

Therefore, during the long Spring Festival travel journey, try not to slump in a narrow seat to play with your mobile phone or sleep. If you have the conditions, try to walk around as much as possible, or move your legs and feet in place . This picture will help your blood flow smoothly on the journey home!
I hope everyone can go home healthy and safe for the New Year! 2023 Money Rabbit is infinite!
