Blood clots can happen to anyone, even professional athletes. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts’ recent diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism highlights the importance of recognizing the warning signs.

“Blood clots can affect anyone, regardless of age or activity level. If you notice unexplained swelling or pain in one leg, don't ignore it. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent life-threatening complications,” says Dr. Ruchika Goel, hematology expert at SIU Medicine.

Risk factors include prolonged inactivity, recent surgery and a history of blood clots. If you suspect DVT, seek prompt medical attention. Sudden shortness of breath or chest pain could signal a clot in the lungs and requires emergency care.

The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback developed a minor blood clot, but deeper more dangerous ones were later discovered in his vein and lungs.
