Get out and about. Walking is good for stress and basically everything you mentioned in your post :)

In general, some common sense advice regardless of your fears...

Exercise, eat right and QUIT SMOKING! Doing so will decrease the odds of causing yourself health issues down the road.

Positive thoughts

I wish I would have seen this post earlier. I had the exact same fear! I've just been to have a ctpa to check for clots on my lungs and now I'm petrified I've contributed towards cancer because I previously had 6 chest X-rays and a perfusion scan.
You sound exactly like me! If you want to talk about it more please message me and I'll give you my number because it would be great to chat about it more when we have the same issues x

You don't have the risk factors unless you were:
1.Bedridden due to recent surgery
2. Severe Trauma to arms or legs
3.Being on Birth Control Pills
4.Frequent flyer

Trust me as a guy I had this fear 2 weeks ago.AND DVT doesn't kill instantly, it takes weeks for it before it creates a clot in the longs, by then you know you have it because you can't breath.

thank u for ur replys well icaved went had a d dimer was negative but now it switched to massive heart sniexty! this all started with constant dizziness few weeks ago n they did ecg yesterday but I forgot to ask if it was ok now im gettin ridiculous dizziness n palps im so tired of bein scared

[Lin71]

If they did an ECG yesterday and it wasn't fine, they'd have told you regardless of whether you asked or not!

Try and get out for a nice long walk and fresh air today if you can, I find it really helps take my mind off things.

Hope you feel better soon
