Yet more pulmonary embolism fears keeping me up at night!!
It's been three weeks now since I started getting chest pain, I've been to the doctors multiple times about it and had two ECG's done (both came out fine), one of the doctors I saw diagnosed me with GERD, the other diagnosed me with Costochondritis and it seems at the moment that no-one is really sure. The problem is despite two clear ECG's I can't get the thought of a pulmonary embolism out of my head! I've been having loads of aches and pains in my legs, the other day I looked in the mirror and it looks like my left leg is ever so slightly bigger than my right (basically unnoticeable unless I really look), I can't see any noticeable swelling and it may just be that leg is slightly bigger anyway but I'm freaking out ): I have a slight cough but it's only very occassionally (like I'll cough a few times in an entire day). I can't help but worry myself sick though :weep:
