All I'm reading about is dvt & blood clots! I have now convinced myself I have one & that it will travel to my lung and kill me!!
Ever since I read some article last week I can't stop thinking about it! It's making my anxiety go ballistic I keep googling symptoms! It's on my mind it's making me breathless & my chest is hurting! I feel so ill and scared!!!

If you had one to that extent in your heart or lungs, you'd be sick. You would be very very very sick, or you'd be on your deathbed. Stop looking up symptoms online, it's not healthy.

About 2 months ago I had very sharp pains in my chest whenever I inhaled or exhaled, and I was feeling more and more lightheaded as the day went on. A couple of days prior to this, I had excruciating pain in the back of my calf. When I thought about everything, I thought the pain in my calf was the start of DVT and the pain in my chest was a PE (pulmonary embolism). To add to this, there's a long running history of DVT in my family so I convinced myself that I had a blood clot on my lung.
Long story short, I ended up rushing to A&E / ER and had an electrocardiograph as well as a blood test (D dimer) but no clot was found. The nurses said my problem sounded more muscular than anything else, and that my anxiety had went into overdrive.
Anyways, if you're worried, either go to your GP or go straight to A&E if you feel it's serious or if you've recently had surgery or any long haul flights. The point of my story is that my anxiety convinced me that I was about to die, but actually, it was nothing and it could be the same for you.
Hope you feel better soon x
