So I ended up in an emergency room last Monday night. ER doctor suspected I might have had a blood clot in my right calf. Anyway he rushed blood tests through and told me blood tests were absolutely normal and there was no sign of a clot. He warned me if anything gets worse to come back to him.
Since then nothing has gotten worse and I meant to ask him a few questions about the blood tests and how he could ascertain that information with a blood tests. I've since googled it and read up about it but I'm still amazed that a simple blood test was all that was needed.
When they do take your blood in these situations. Do they test for everything or just what they are looking for?
I read an article about an 18 year old male who died from a blood clot after playing games for 12 hours straight. I do that a lot. Well not anymore, not since this happened. Of course there could be loads of factors not reported, like of he was overweight and smoked etc. still it has me all pretty freaked again.
