How would u know if u had a blood clot in ur body!ive been gettin stabbing pains for days and woke up this morning and it was worse!i couldnt catch my breath.now ive scared myself stupid.

I have problems with my ribs and where they attach to the bones and I get loads of stabbing pains in my rib chest area and sometimes usually happens when i move I get severe cramp in rib muscle and its absolute agony to try and breathe and very scary - I have to take very shallow short breaths and wait for the muscle to relax a bit but will be in agony for days - not able to lay down or breathe other than very shallowly. Sitting still is only painfree ish activity I can do for a few days.

A neighbour of mine had a pulmonery embolish after a flight many years ago and he once told me that the pain was excrutiating with every breath and he really could not breathe to the point where he was going blue.

Hi Kirstyt,

sorry your not feeling too good, to have a clott in your chest, lungs, I had one many many years ago, I did not know about it, it was the chest xray that showed it. if you are worried that much. If I was you I would phone your gp's or 24nhs. to put your mind at rest.

I hope you feel better soon. I hope so it's ok.

Yvonne
