Hi,
Blood clot presents with shortness of breath and sudden onset of pain. So it is not related to blood clot plus she is too young to have that. Can she grade her pain from the scale of 1 to 10? Can she define the type of pain? Any medical condition or significant family history?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Zeeshan Sajjad
