Long haul air travel is not the only activity to pose a risk of developing potentially deadly blood clots - sitting at your computer for too long may also put you at risk . The European Respiratory Journal reports the case of a young man from New Zealand who nearly died after developing deep vein thrombosis following long periods of physical inactivity in front of his computer . The man, the first recorded victim of a condition which has been dubbed e-thrombosis, spent up to 18 hours a day using his computer . He developed a massive blood clot that formed in his leg veins, broke off and travelled to his lungs . Cheers,Kiwitas,;-) |

| 1357081 | 2003-01-29 02:43:00 | When I heard this I laughed a lot. 18 hours a day? Did he go to the toilet or use a catheter bag? Very sad. I am sure not even the worst of the F1 regulars would get close to that. They may aspire to it, but actually do have lives. robo |

| 1357084 | 2003-01-29 04:53:00 | They *never* cover the whole story though. They've usually had that much caffeine and the like that would have had a large effect on them as well. It's not just the sitting and gaming that does it. |

| 1357085 | 2003-01-29 05:12:00 | It hasn't been reported as happening to people who watch TV to gross excess. Though you do from time to time hear of one when the ambulance people have to get help to break out a wall and get a forklift to shift a 300 Kg TV watcher to a hospital. ;-) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 1357086 | 2003-01-29 06:34:00 | Now here's a thought... if a person on a long haul flight, using a computer for hours on end, would increase their chances of dvt a million times :D | Dolby Digital (160) | ||
