When blood flow is slow or sluggish, as can happen in poorly performing leg veins, your leg muscles compensate by helping to power blood up your legs to the heart. However, if your movements are restricted for a period of time, such as sitting without moving for a long period of time, your ankles may swell and your legs ache. There may also be a low risk of a deep vein thrombosis or blood clot forming if you are at special risk.
Prevention
The risk of DVT is low, but you can help reduce it by wearing Scholl Flight Socks or Scholl Flight Socks Sheer. Take every opportunity to leave your seat and move around, or flex your shoulders feet and ankles when this isn't possible. Drinking plenty of water and wearing loose clothing is a good idea.
It's also worth avoiding caffeine or alcohol, not allowing the backs of your calves to press up against your seat or using footrests that leave your feet dangling.
Symptoms
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in the veins of the legs, usually the calf. The blood in your legs has to overcome the effects of gravity in order to return to your heart. To help with this, the muscles of the legs act as a pump as you walk around. If you spend a long time not using your legs, sitting in cramped conditions where dehydration is likely, circulatory problems can occur. This includes swollen ankles, tired or aching legs or more serious conditions, such as a DVT.
These conditions are well discussed because of the associated cause of being on board aeroplanes.
