Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the presence of early diastolic notching might be a normal finding before 24 weeks of pregnancy.

This blood clot is new. Im scared to fall asleep because I just notice this blood clot. what should I do?
Hello, Mild bleeding after a surgery is common. The bleeding is usually stopped by formation of a soft clot (platelet plug) initially followed by a hard clot (clotting factors). As it is a wet area and your oral cavity is constantly mobile, healing takes a longer time considered to other places. Clot formation is natu...

So, an x-ray and evaluation is recommended for someone whose hip pain stays more than a few hours after a fall.
