Ok you don't have it - it is in your mind and stop googling please!

Hi Jillian,

I agree - You do not have it.
- Googling does your head in.

Accept this and give yourself a break.
Best wishes,

Hello :)

I freaked out about this once after a chest pain I had after swimming. After seeing several Doctors and Nurses and telling them I thought I had multiple DVT's and PE's, I finally realised it really was just chest wall strain.

The nurse said to me...'Pulmonary Embolism is a peri-mortal sign...if you really had one, you wouldn't be able to keep coming to the surgery to ask' :winks:

I think it is always wise to err on the side of caution with chest pains and get checked out by the GP, but really, I don't think you have a PE.

Relax! And quit Googling!

*hugs* Jillian hun

I did have a PE 11 years ago which was pregnancy related and hun you know when you have one, there is no suspicion involved, it is very clear that its a PE and not anxiety...

Please don't google as its not worth the upset *wishes she could take some of her own advice lol*

Don't be afraid of going to your doc's again, remember they get very well paid to see you and don't be afraid of asking for tests to be done...

God arent we all giving ourselves hell. I am still, a week on from flu suffering with pains in the legs, they feel stiff achey and heavy, I am convincing myself that either it is my varicose veins about to give me thrombosis, or that I have the beginnings of MS or something...... I neurotically check them, feel them, twiddle my toes, assess them........ it is doing my nut. I am scared, resisited the urge to go to the Doc today as I am sure they have seen enough of me, lol, logically I know I am prob ok, but rest assured, you are not alone. It is a horrible feeling, but try not to focus too much inwardly, distract yourself. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
