Symptoms of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Deep vein thrombosis occurs without symptoms about 50 percent of the time. When symptoms do occur, they may include:

  • Swelling in one or both legs
  • Pain
  • Warm skin
  • Discoloration (bluish or reddish) of the skin

The symptoms of deep vein thrombosis may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
