Compression Stockings
Most often, a pulmonary embolism begins in the legs. Clots from one vein in the legs can travel to your heart and lungs. To prevent another blood clot, it is vital to ensure that the blood flows freely. Compression stockings are a special type of socks that can help keep blood flowing freely. These socks allow your leg muscles move blood up your leg freely as they get tighter. Your doctor will tell you how much pressure to apply when buying compression stockings.
