Heart Thrombosis | Blood Clotting in Heart
Blood clotting is a process in which the blood changes from liquid to solid or light solid form. People who often have tingling, numbness or pain in the body may have a problem of blood clotting. In most cases, blood clots form in the veins of the legs and feet, but due to unusual reasons, they can form in either part of the body.
