Thank you for clicking on this and giving me your time!
I am a 24 year old male. 6 foot and 170 lbs.
4 Days ago i started feeling a slight ache in my left calf but didn't care much for it and went about my dad. Later that night *around 4am* my calf was in such intense pain it woke me up from my sleep. It definitely scared me as I've never been awoken from pain before. I went back to sleep a bit later and the pain hasn't gone away. I still feel a dull pain in my calf. I have now noticed I have pain in my arms (worse when i move them directly above my head). I've had chest pain my entire life but this pain I now have ever seen this calf pain is different. I feel it in my back as well now, kind of like a sharp pain.
I'm not sure as to why I would have a blood clot at my age, but a week ago I smacked my elbow extremely hard on the corner of a wall and it bleed quite a bit. If I did get a blood clot I imagine it'd have to be from that.. but why would the clot pain be in my calf?
I'm scared I have a blood clot and it's turning into PE.. I have a little one and I can't die just yet.
If anyone has stories of themselves or friends/family who had DVT and PE and would be willing to share their symptoms I'd appreciate it. I don't want to go to ER for this as I've suffered from Health anxiety before and don't want to rush in unless it's unbarring pain.
Thank you
