Hi everyone.
I was very lucky to give birth to my second gorgeous baby boy on the 1st January (2016). Pregnancy, labour and birth were all perfect. I felt on top of the world! 6 days later I had a big bleed. Got rushed to a&e and put on antibiotics to treat a possible infection. Later that night I experienced mild chest pains. Told to go back to a&e where they did various tests and sent me for a VQ scan to rule out a clot on the lungs. The test came back negative, but since having this test I've been constantly in a&e with similar symptoms (chest pain and breathing issues). I've now had shortness of breath for the past 6 days which I keep getting told is to do with my anxiety. It just doesn't let off and causes numerous panic attacks. I'm refusing to believe it's anxiety and think it's a clot that's come after the test. All doctors are trying to convince me it's all to do with anxiety but I just feel fobbed off and like they're not taking me seriously now I've been diagnosed. Has anyone else felt like this? Have you had a constant feeling you're not breathing fully? This is honestly the worst thing I've ever encountered
