I believe I've seen several members post a number you can call in the UK (is it 111?) for some help when you're really feeling this bad.

Perhaps some immediate intervention would be helpful at this point.

I hope you feel better.

I visited my gp who is referring me back for another scan to stop me panicking but as soon as I got home I started worrying about the other leg its driving me insane :(

Maybe your GP can refer you for therapy and/or give you a chill pill to help?

D-dimer can be raised for other reasons, it's not very specific. Are you still on clexane?

I get palpitations. I try to enjoy them. Don't like the chest pain i get when anxious though!

Is there any rational reason why you might have a DVT? (apart from d-dimer). Do you have cancer? Are you immobile? Are you pregnant?
