I am really concerned been getting sharp pains in my calf for about 10 days the pain has been constant and kept me awake at night. Then 5 days ago ive now got a sharp pain in centre of chest. My first thought is a dvt/pe. Im worried sick as I have family history of clots. Had bloodtests about a week ago came back normal. Asked my doc for an ultrasound and he refused:weep:

Hi Bev

You have had these same worries since 2010 and nothing has ever come of it.

What have you been up to recently since you had a break from NMP?

Did you get some CBT therapy? What self-help have you been doing?

Try and remember how you overcome this before and I am sure you will do it again.

I've had a DVT and it comes on very quick excruciating pain swollen and very red and warm also causes blood pressure to shoot up I had to have heparin injections and stay in hospital , you would not have a DVT and wonder about it you would know .
Hope that puts your mind at rest a little,

It's anxiety.

Calf pain from using different muscles than normal (i.e. learning to drive)
Chest pains because of anxiety.
