That's your HA lying to you big time. Tests have proven there's no risk. Other than saying you have to trust the results, I don't have much else to say. Reassurance isn't the answer. Learning to trust your doctors and scientific medical tests is. Looking into therapy to help you deal with the illogical thoughts would be prudent.

Positive thoughts

This has been one of fears for many years I to have trotted myself off to hospital with left leg pain, chest pain and palpitations.. That fear started when I was pregnant and I was actually suspected of having one (I didn't ) and I do remember a doctor saying to me that a positive d dimer is not conclusive of a blood clot as there are loads of things that can elevate it but a negative is almost a certainty that they can rule it out x
