Blood Clots in Unexpected Places: Symptoms, Diagnosis & What You Need to Know (2026)

Uncover the Hidden Dangers: Recognizing Blood Clots in Unlikely Places

Blood clots are not always confined to the legs and lungs; they can lurk in unexpected areas, leading to delayed treatment and serious health complications. In this PEP Talk, we'll explore the lesser-known locations where blood clots can form and the often-overlooked symptoms that accompany them. Our expert guest, Dr. Stephan Moll of UNC, will guide us through:

  • The most common (yet uncommon) clot locations in the body
  • Symptoms that are frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked
  • When to push for imaging and which tests are essential
  • Risk factors that increase the chances of an atypical clot
  • How to advocate for yourself when something 'doesn't feel right'

This session will empower you to recognize the warning signs of unusual clots, ask the right questions, and navigate the diagnostic process with confidence, even when symptoms don't fit the typical picture. But here's where it gets controversial... Are you prepared to challenge conventional wisdom and advocate for your health?
