I had a c section 21 days ago, I have a new baby boy and my health anxiety is back and ruining everything, I’m currently on blood thinners because of the surgery and I’ve developed an obsession with dvt because I had a twinge in my leg 7 days ago now I can’t stop obsessing over it, I’ve been checked over by 3/4 midwife’s who assure me it’s normal muscle pain, it isn’t even pain my leg just feels weird.. I think it’s in my head because I can’t stop thinking about it from the minute I wake up. I’m so scared. I’m only 7 stone so I’m sure if I had a big clot it would be obvious but of course Google some people had no symptoms and then died . I’m so scared and it’s ruining my life. I Google it everyday, I’ve read everything about dvt you can think of, I’ve been checked over, why isn’t it enough? I have no swelling no real pain, just twinges by my thigh calf foot and sometimes it feels like it’s in the other leg but I can only focus on the right leg and how that feels. I’m so fed up :( once again my health anxiety has stole something from me but then I think what if I’m right and I do have dvt and I’m gonna drop dead any second
