Don’t know what to think....

Been worrying myself sick for a week now. So worried i have BLOOD CLOT in lungs. Been having chest pain that ranges from burning, palpitations, sharp pain to pressure in my chest. Also some random pains in my abdomen and back. Went to ER over weekend and they did ekgs,chest xray and bloodwork. Also did a ddimer test which apparently helps to detect clots but that was negative and low.

Pain still persists since then and cant relax. had full cardiac workup toward the middle of last year which included stress test, echo and ct aniogram. All were normal, so assuming this has to be a bloodclot in lungs causing this.

my health anxiety is driving me crazy.

    You can get burning pain and palpitations from acid reflux problems, there are quite few upper GI disorders that can give you these symptoms too. I would recommend seeing a gastroenterologist and asking about an endoscopy.

    These symptoms could be caused by lots of things. What is the reason you are particularly worried it's a blood clot? Do you have a family history or any other risk factors?
