8. Visit Your Doctor Regularly

Regularly scheduled health screenings are a crucial part of preventative healthcare, especially if you have a family history of high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure—risk factors for developing blood clots. Additionally, research shows that women who have experienced trauma and symptoms of PTSD are at a greater risk for developing blood clots.

Regular screenings every two to five years are an excellent way to track blood health and stop blood clot issues before they cause damage.
