Been there-done that-the blood clots, I mean-about 3 years ago-DVT's on the flight from LA to NewZealand-about 1 hour before landing. They called the paramedics at the airport who said I was probably just a little dehydrated and needed to eat!! I flew on to Vanuatu and 2 days later, in hospital there and the next day evacuated back to NZ and put in intensive care. Got thru it, though. Guess I'm lucky to be here according to the specialist there. I had multiple clots in both lungs. I now fly business class so I have the leg room and can get up and walk around without disturbing anyone!!
