Compression Stockings
A pulmonary embolism most often begins in your legs and in one of the veins in legs brings clots to your lungs and heart. It is important to make sure that blood flows easily to help in the prevention of another blood clot formation. One way to keep blood flow freely is with compression stockings, which are a type of special socks. These socks help your leg muscles to move blood freely up your leg as these get tighter on leading downward to your ankle. A doctor will give you a suggestion for compression stockings that says how much pressure you need to apply.
