Thrombosis is responsible for more deaths in Europe and U.S. than AIDS, breast cancer, prostate cancer and car crashes combined.
That's according to Thrombosis Ireland who are looking to raise awareness today on World Thrombosis Day.
The condition, otherwise known as a blot clot, usually begins in the legs but can travel to the lungs and can lead to death if left untreated.
Fionnuala Ní Áinle (NEE-OIN-LA) is a consultant who specialises in thrombosis at the Mater Hospital in Dublin - she says it's important to know symptoms and get checked right away.
