What should I do when I have cerebral thrombosis?

Condition analysis:
A thrombosis is a blood clot in a vein. This usually happens after some injury to the body. I think the most common form of thrombosis is a deep vein thrombosis in the legs. When this happens there is swelling of the muscle, pain and redness.

Instructions:
There are no specific Deep Vein Thrombosis home remedies for the removal of blood clot, but DVT should not be overlooked merely as a blood clot as in worst cases of PE (Pulmonary Embolism) the situation becomes life threatening.

For the first 15 – 20 days you have to depend upon the treatment given by doctors.

Usually the first drug given to the patient is HEPARIN.

If heparin is given through a vein (IV), you must stay in the hospital.

Newer forms of heparin can be given by injection once or twice a day. You may not need to stay in the hospital as long, or at all, if you are prescribed this newer form of heparin.

Another drug called Warfarin (Coumadin) or any anti coagulant (as suggested by the physician) is also started along with heparin. These anticoagulants keep more clots from forming or old ones from getting bigger. Generally, these drugs do not dissolve clots.

Most likely warfarin is administered for minimum 3 months but in some cases people have to take it for the rest of their lives.
