Answer 5 : Blood clots can form in the deep veins (veins below the surface that are not visible through the skin) of legs during travel because Bonnie is sitting still in a confined space for long periods of time.Blood flows more slowly, and collects in the legs when they are hanging down. Blood flowing slowly is more likely to make a clot. The longer she is immobile, the greater is the risk of developing a blood clot.

Answer 6 : A pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a blood clot called a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), often in leg, travels to lungs and blocks a blood vessel. That leads to low oxygen levels in the blood and a blockage occurs in the pulmonary artery preventing blood flow to the lungs.

1.chest pain that may extend to arm, neck and shoulder. it is very sharp in nature and become worse when taking deep breathe.
2.irregular heart beat and sudden shortness of breathing.
