@justagirlinscrubs37: ✈️ Flying soon? Let’s talk about something that’s not on the packing list—but should be. Long flights can increase your risk of blood clots, even in young, healthy people. 🧠💥 Full disclosure: this isn’t medical advice—just friendly info based on what I’ve been seeing lately. More and more young adults are showing up with blood clots, and it’s scary. I can’t tell you what to take, but if I were traveling, here’s what I would do: 💊 Take 81mg aspirin (with your doctor’s okay) 🧦 Wear compression socks 🚶🏽♀️ Get up often—stretch, walk to the bathroom 💧 Stay hydrated & keep that circulation going Blood clots can start anywhere, but the real danger is when they move—especially to the lungs or brain. Serious stuff. Just a few simple steps can lower your risk. Knowledge is power. Share this with someone who has a trip coming up. Let’s all travel smarter. 🌍 #NurseTok #EDnurse #BloodClotAwareness #CompressionSocks #nursesoftiktok

But why do I always feel like compression socks are going to give me the actual blood clot because I feel like they’re cutting off my circulation?!

Aspirine is proven to cause brain bleeding... Stick to natural blood thinning... Like cayenne pepper / garlic.. Etc

Vascular Sonographer here, also wearing compression stockings and every so often doing calf muscle pump exercises. That’s flexing your feet up and down so you feel the pull in you calf muscles. It will help with blood circulation so it’s not stagnant. 😉

Former ER nurse I agree with you and I would like to remind people. It’s not just flying in an airplane. This includes a long car ride as well! Very frequent ankle pumps are helpful too. Set the timer in your phone so you don’t forget your ankle pumps!

Honest question how is sitting on a plane different from sitting at a desk all day can’t then same thing happen ? Or does it have to do with altitude??

Thank you for bringing this to everyone awareness. My mom just died three months ago from a blood clot after returning back from South America. My mom died 7 days after returning and I hurt every day. I am a nurse myself and many people don’t know the risk factors r/t flying.
