Hi there
I wonder if someone can help me? I've just got back from holiday and whilst there I kept feeling very light headed and like I was going to pass out. I also keep getting heart palpatations and feel like I am out of breath (not shortness of breath but I am conscious of my breathing and it doesn't feel right).
I have been under alot of stress recently not helped by the fact that my mother in law passed away last week.:weep:
Anyway for the past few days I've developed a cough and it hurts at the top of my chest/base of my neck.
I am really really worried that I may have a blood clot on my lung. I haven't googled the symptoms yet (trying my hardest not too) but I seem to remember reading somewhere that a cough could be a sign along with shortness of breath. It's quite a dry cough (not coughing up anything). I haven't got a sharp pain when I breath in - just the heavy feeling at the base of my neck.
Please could someone help me and perhaps put my mind at rest?
Sorry to ramble.
Many thanks!
