Tori Kelly has been reportedly hospitalized after she fainted on the night of July 23, 2023. Doctors have found that clots were present in most of her vital organs. Blood clots are formed when substances in the blood thicken, leading to a semisolid mass and could be triggered by an injury.
According to the New York Post, Kelly was outside her residence with her friends when she collapsed due to a quick heartbeat. She is currently at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and her condition is said to be critical as per sources.
What are blood clots? Symptoms, causes, prevention, and more
Cleveland Clinic states that a blood clot refers to a semi-solid mass of blood cells and other substances forming in the blood vessels. Blood clots can protect anyone from bleeding due to injury or surgery but they can also develop for other reasons including different medical conditions.
They look like a clump of reddish jelly that is put together at one spot with netting. They seem like tiny plates that are called platelets and the netting is known as fibrin. The red color of the clots is due to the red blood cells trapped in the fibrin.
Blood clots are linked to various conditions including the formation of a clot due to cutting after which the body tries to stop the bleeding. There are various factors that can lead to this disease. This includes age, pregnancy, obesity, cancer, taking birth control pills, smoking, and inability to move around.
The symptoms of the disease are frequently formed in the veins and arteries. A few of the symptoms could be leg pain, swollen legs, and a change in skin color. For the blood clots in the lungs and heart, chest pain or breathing problems can be the symptoms.
The problem can be prevented with participation in cancer screenings, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, staying hydrated, and considering non-estrogen alternatives for birth control or hormone therapy.
