How Can Profuse Sweating Caused By Blood Clots In Leg And Lungs Be Solved?

I have recently been hospitalized with blood clots in my leg and 2 or 3 in my right lung. This is not the first time. I tire very easily. My chest and back will hurt and I will be breathing very hard. I also sweat profusely. My hair will be completely soaked.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Excessive sweating and formation of blood clots appear to be unrelated to each other.
Clot formation in the legs suggests deep venous thrombosis and clots in lungs suggest pulmonary thrombosis.
This condition may be acquired or congenital due to a mutation.
Treatment of clotting in body is primarily anti-coagulants.
Associated chest pain may be due to pulmonary embolism.
Difficulty in breathing also suggests pulmonary embolism.
Consult your physician for clinical assessment, investigations and hence treatment.

Thanks and take care
