What Causes Multiple Clots On The Leg?
Im a heart patient on plavix and aspirin with multiple blockages in my legs now. Is it possible for clots to form in my legs and then move to my heart causing anonymous heart attack when I do 5hings like soaking in a tub of very hot water to relieve my restless leg symptoms that only happens with the right leg?also could the multiple heart caths be a cause for the restless leg syndrome in my right leg?

Hi,
Pulmonary embolism occurs when a clump of material, most often a blood clot, gets wedged into an artery in your lungs. These blood clots most commonly come from the deep veins of your legs.
This condition is known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In most cases, multiple clots are involved but not necessarily all at once.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Monish De, Oncologist
