Can playing computer games cause DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)?
Studies suggest that any situation in which someone spends hours sitting in one place can increase the risk of a Deep Vein Thrombosis. But this can happen with any stationary leisure activity - including watching television, listening to music or reading a book. ELSPA advises players to: · Take regular breaks and move around to stimulate blood flow through to the extremities · Do not play for hours on end · Stop playing should you feel unwell and, if symptoms persist, consult a doctor
