Blood clots are scary stuff and it seems like they pop up out of nowhere for people.

A man named Brandon posted a video on TikTok and talked to viewers about how he developed blood clots in his body.

Brandon told viewers, “Recently, I was diagnosed with a blood clot in my leg and in my lung.”

He flew not too long after his diagnosis and the airline had a pamphlet on how people can avoid blood clots on flights.

He said, “Now, I don’t know if this is something that all airlines have been doing for a while now, or this is just the first time that I’ve ever noticed, but you know, props to American Airlines for including this.”

Brandon continued, “Because ever since I had a blood clot and I made a video about the experience, so many people have come into the comment section and have talked about how they have a blood clot too, or how they know someone in their life that has one, or how they know someone that suddenly died from one at a really young age.”

He continued, “The crazy thing is that until I had one myself, I had no awareness of them, really, or any idea just how much of a risk or how easily you can get one when you’re traveling a lot.”

Brandon told viewers that flying can be risky and said, “Just a quick PSA, you know, blood clots can be life threatening, and they’re apparently a lot easier to get than you might think.”

Check out what he had to say.
