Since Factor V Leiden is an inherited trait, it may be that your mom had this genetic mutation and passed it along to you. It can increase the chances of developing blood clots in the legs and lungs. According to an informational article from Mayo Clinic, many people with the condition never develop abnormal clots.

You’ve had a long life without clotting issues even though you have the Factor V Leiden gene. I see in some of your previous posts that you’re now taking Eliquis. Where did you experience your blood clots? Was this a one time event for you?

Went to hospital cause my legs felt like they weighed 100 lbs. They did catsxan and blood clots in lungs and legs were discovered..going to hematology Dr now..
Before my mother passed I had her tested she was negative for factor V, my dad was also tested, negative! So they told me, not sure how true drs were but I have it, you have to have one parent with the gene correct?
