Last week I just got over my fear of unexplained bruising and the dreaded 'l' word. Now it's a fear of blood clots!
I keep getting this weird sensation in two of my fingers on my left hand.. it's not the hand I write with so I doubt it's repetitive strain injury. And it almost feels like it's bulging, sometimes it twitches and sometimes it feels stiff.. it doesn't hurt at all though. I have no idea what it is and I am obsessed with looking at my veins and I keep thinking it's a blood clot of some sort. I am completely freaking out!

Does anyone have any advice?

I thought I had a blood clot recently, so I understand your thoughts. But the sensations you feel in your fingers could be many diferent reasons. If I think about my finger right now I can feel a sensation there, so it could be anxiety? Maybe a nerve thats fluttering? Try not to worry and if the symptoms really are strong then make an appt with your GP to put your mind at ease x
