How could your legs possibly be connected to lung diseases? We suspect that a lot of people don’t get themselves checked out because of the false perception that the two couldn’t possibly be linked.
Leg problems could signal deep vein thrombosis, a blood clot in your leg. If the clot breaks off it could end up in your lung, which could then cause a pulmonary embolism. Since these clots could block blood flow, they could be disastrous.
Shortness of breath, chest pain, breathing could follow, though there have been patients who reported no lung symptoms. Don’t risk it and get help immediately since as many as 30% of people die from this condition.
Now that you know what signs to look out for you should also learn what you can do to avoid any of these conditions. The biggest thing you cand do? Avoid tobacco use or being near someone while they’re smoking. Stay away from allergens and air pollution as much as you can.
You only get one set of lungs and remember, they’re our filters! Without our lungs we wouldn’t be able to clear the oxygen we breathe of unhealthy debris and carcinogens.
