Thick Blood: Common Symptoms

Print Page

You may have thick blood (also known as hypercoagulability) if you are experiencing any of these symptoms:

Abnormal appearance of thickened blood when you’re having your blood drawn
Slow bleeding when you are cut
Widespread nutritional and hormonal deficiencies
Repeated miscarriages
Presence of one or more chronic conditions, such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Candida, or Irritable Bowel Syndrome

In the event of thick blood, the following problems may exist:

Disruption of the production and function of the body’s natural blood thinners
Difficulty treating any bacterial, viral, or fungal infections
Disruption of oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout the body
Increased burden on the heart to pump thicker blood which may lead to an increased risk of heart attack and/or stroke. It is now suggested that thick blood is a better indicator of the risk of heart attack and stroke than cholesterol levels. However, testing for thick blood is not commonly performed in conventional medicine.¹⁰
