Hello,

Blood clots in the leg veins can be dangerous because a piece from such clots can get detached and enter the blood circulation and can block an artery to a vital organ like lungs, heart or brain.

This can cause problems, at times life threatening also. Hence you need to consult your doctor and find out the reason for repeated formation of clots in your leg veins.

You are already on blood thinners which you should continue under supervision of your doctor. He may suggest changing the dose of blood thinners.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shashi Dangwal
