Blood clots from driving and prevention?

You probably wont have time to stop every 3 hours but it depends on the job

 

Yeah, I got the clots. They put me on Eliquis twice a day and told me to get out and walk around every 2-3 hours. Cool by me as I like to check the tires and such often. This was flatbed work, so no worries about appointment times. May be tougher to do on a strict schedule.

 

look up David Bloom, from NBC news.. he used to be a co-anchor with Soledad O'Brien.

he was covering the war news in 2003, on location, and got blood clots, cuz he pretty much did not get out of the military armored trucks, or do any other kind of walking while there, and he died.

so yeah, even if you are on a tight schedule, try to stop at least once every 3 to 4 hours, for a "squirt of the dirt", and a quick walk around of checking your tires.

 

Many do. They are super truckers, short lived but a hell of a ride.

Everyone does.

 

All the time...

 

After reading about the problem, I started taking a daily low dose aspirin and after a while I started getting nosebleeds, and playing with my dog resulted in bloody scratches on my forearms (from toenails, not teeth!). So I stopped…
