Hi,

How are you?
The main symptoms of thromboembolism are pain, weakness, tingling, numbness, and paresthesias or altered sensations and weak pulse.
Hope this answers your question!

Hi,

How are you?
Yes, birth control pills can cause thromboembolism. Obese women who lead a sedentary life are more at risk.
Other factors that increase the risk are prolonged bed rest, surgery, smokers, women suffering from major illnesses and frequent long car trips.
Hope this helps!
