Swimming Induced Pumonary Oedema. The wikipedia reference is:

Thanks to Taipei325 for suggesting the alternative. It's worth reading, in my opinion, especially the bit about aspirin as a possible contributory cause...
As to DVT, yes, there is a test for genetic predisposition to it. If you have any doubts or a family history, get it checked. Aspirin can help, but if you do have a predisposition, there are other management issues that are needed, especially if the patient travels by air a lot.
As to the other rubbish posted by the resident troll... well, make of it what you will... which in my case, is nothing.
