Fear of DVT
(23 yr old male, slightly overweight)
I went on holiday recently and did a lot of driving: regularly three to seven hours a day, with some days off. I got up and walked for at least a minute or two every 2-3 hours. Some days had big walks between driving, but not all. Am I likely to have developed DVT?

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
DVT or Deep Vein Thrombosis doesn't develop like that.
You can take precautions like losing weight and all.
Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.
Consult a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management.
He will be able to help you further.
Best regards.
