A diagnosis of a blood clot can be a shock and extremely frightening. Feeling worried, alone and wondering why, or what the future might now hold, is very normal. Knowing that you are not alone, can make such a difference. The experiences below have been shared by individuals who have been diagnosed with a blood clot or lost a loved one due to a pulmonary embolism. They hope that by sharing their own experiences will help others and increase awareness of the impact of thrombosis.

As part of National Thrombosis Week 2025 we are sharing individual accounts sent to us to help raise awareness. Blood clots can affect anyone, but knowing the risks and symptoms can save lives. Let’s Talk Clots and start the conversation.
Your donation will help us to raise awareness about thrombosis. It will also help to fund research looking at why and how a thrombosis occurs and to educate both Professionals and the Public.
Thrombosis UK receives no government funding and relies entirely on grants and voluntary donations.
Thank you!
