深層靜脈栓塞和肺栓塞可能會引致嚴重後果，但兩者皆有若干治療選項。醫生通常會與病人商討治療選項，嘗試找出最適合病人的治療方案。治療深層靜脈栓塞和肺栓塞的藥物可能會引起不良反應。如出現此情況，請立即告訴醫生，醫生會提供合適的建議。
已患有靜脈血栓栓塞(VTE)（深層靜脈栓塞 (DVT) 或肺栓塞 (PE) ）、且正在接受治療的病人有可能會復發，1,3,5-7 尤其是在停止抗凝血治療時具有長期風險因素。1,3,5,8 醫生會為病人評估復發的可能性，以及決定合適的治療和療程時長。醫生會與病人商討有關事宜。
除了靜脈血栓栓塞，心房顫動是另一種與血栓相關的疾病。它是一種常見的心律不正問題，能引致血栓形成。如果血栓堵塞腦部血管，便可能導致中風。由心房顫動所引起的中風情況往往較一般中風更為嚴重。 脈搏檢查和心電圖有助偵測心律不正問題及診斷心房顫動。9
