Symptoms after thrombus detachment

Disease description:

I was previously diagnosed with a blood clot, but I haven't received any treatment. These past two days, I've constantly been feeling dizzy, and I'm worried it might be due to the clot breaking loose. What are the symptoms of a dislodged blood clot?

Typical symptoms after a blood clot dislodges include dizziness, general weakness, chest tightness, palpitations, and numbness in the limbs. If the clot originates in the brain, symptoms may include insomnia, memory decline, and forgetfulness. In cases of venous thrombus detachment, complications such as tissue bleeding, fever, and limb swelling may occur. This condition is likely caused by excessive cholesterol buildup in the body leading to clot dislodgement.
