Blood clots, or thrombosis, can be an unexpected sign of pancreatic issues, particularly pancreatic cancer. The link between cancer and increased clotting risk is well-established, but the pancreas's role in this process is less understood. Clots may occur in unusual locations, such as deep veins or arteries, leading to complications like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Recognizing this connection can prompt further investigation into pancreatic health, potentially revealing underlying issues before they escalate.

This connection is often overlooked, as mental health changes are attributed to external factors. However, understanding the pancreas's influence on overall health can provide a more comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment, addressing both physical and mental symptoms.
