Charles, a Nigerian based in South Africa, said the disease almost took his life and that he still has a clot in his left leg.
He advised people to know the symptoms of the disease as he was saved thanks to timely medical intervention. Charles wrote:
"Mr. Ibu died of Blood Clots in his leg.
"This is the disease that almost killed me.
"I still have a clot in my left leg. 200,000 Nigerians die of Blood Clot annually. Please know the symptoms. I almost died if not for medical intervention."
What are blood clots?
According to Cleveland Clinic, blood clots are semi-solid or gel-like masses that form in one's arteries and veins.
Blood clots help control bleeding, but they may also cause serious medical issues, including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embo.lism and heart attack.
However, one may develop blood clots for other reasons, such as having certain medical conditions. When that happens, blood clots may cause symptoms and can be life-threatening.
