Content: The problem arises when a blood clot forms inside an intact blood vessel and obstructs the normal blood flow. Every part of the body requires blood to function normally. Therefore a blood clot that limits or blocks blood flow prevents an area from functioning as it should and gives rise to symptoms based on the function of the affected area. For example, when a blood clot blocks the blood supply to the brain then brain activity is affected. A person may experience numbness, weakness, paralysis, loss of sensation like vision and hearing, dizziness, confusion and even less of consciousness. This is linked to all the functions of the brain. It may be momentary in a transient ischemic attack (TIA) but once the blood supply is cut off then it results in a stroke. Blood Clots and Blood Vessels
There are two main types of blood clots – a thrombus and an embolus. A thrombus simply refers to a blood clot that is located at the site where it forms. An embolus on the other hand is a blood clot (thrombus) that has dislodged from where it was formed and travels through the bloodstream to lodge elsewhere.
