Hello all,
As the aforementioned title suggests I have this strong warm feeling that appears in my calf/ankle, internal, that lasts for maybe 5 seconds then fades. Happens like 3-4x an hour for the last few days. Usually when resting.
I suffer from really bad health anxiety from time to time and have also been diagnosed with GAD.
I split with my long term partner 2 weeks ago, which as you can expect is very stressful and anxiety filled.
Not been getting anything like regular sleep since then, sometimes like 2 hours a night (although got that up to 5 hours broken now!). I have not been as active as i usually am over the last week, lots of sitting around at my mums, not been in work either.
I also suffer from long term lower back issues (stiffness/pain).
Not sure how any of this would impact my calf sensations?
I am pretty fit and healthy other than the obvious and there is no pain, swelling, discoloration or redness around the area.
I'm terrified this could be something more serious like dvt and blood clots as my ex-partner had them about 6 months ago so I am focussing on it constantly. Anyone else ever experienced something similar? Could anxiety, stress or fatigue ever cause this?
Thank you all
