Almost 1M people a year get #bloodclots, but risks aren't always obvious. Blood clots kill more Americans than breast cancer or car accidents. Here's what experts say are the warning signs. #CDC estimates that 900,000 Americans experience them per year, 100,000 of them die. The #NationalClotAlliance puts the number of #fatalities even higher, up to 300,000 individuals a year. (The number is tricky to pin down because blood clots can often accompany other health issues.) https://www.salon.com/2023/07/31/almost-one-million-people-a-year-get-blood-clots-but-the-risks-arent-always-obvious/
