View Full Version : Fear about dvt /pe
Really worried again getting pain in left calf had a leg scan end of feb which showed nothing, also still getting horrid pains in chest like burning and sharp. Worried now about a pe can anyone help?
You've had all the tests done and they have come back negative. So I doubt it will be that! Are you getting much exercise? The leg pains could be from not doing much or doing too much! I get leg pain all the time!
The burning pain is acid keep on with the gaviscon it will improve eventually when your anxiety gets better as anxiety makes it worse!
You have to try to stop worrying hun!

Anyone had a dvt in leg scared now pain in calf not red or swollen
I really do doubt you have one, I don't think you'd be typing on here if you did. On a scale of one to ten, ten being the worst pain possible, what would you say it is?

Would say about 8 hun just hurts dont think its swollen or red can walk on it just really aches
OK if its not swollen, it's not red and you can walk on it I would reckon you are fine - try and distract yourself hun. How's all the hospital/doctor stuff going, is someone still in and out every day to help? Make sure they know how much this is affecting you, you need the help as this must be exhausting for you x

yeah somene comes everyday cos anxiety is sky high at mo this time has been awful. Howr u?
Not too too bad, struggling to keep on top of uni work and in and out of doctor's/hospital but not due to anxiety for once.. Though there are things that are bothering me but more along the lines of OCD as opposed to health anxiety - things that I haven't really told GP about so trying to pluck up the courage to talk to her properly this week! Good to hear, is it helping you at all? We had similar when I was a lot younger, my mum was ill for a long time with agorophobia and epilepsy, carers etc used to come round to help quite a lot. Helped mum a lot having someone there for support.

Been to a&e today with this pain in my calf been in agony doc had a quick look at it and said it wasent swollen or red so didnt think it was a dvt. Feel like there fobbing me off really scared.
Don't think they are fobbing you off at all; they're being very helpful. Trust me if it was a DVT you would know and so would they, you'd be very sore, red and inflamed. Doctors have to be so so careful because of the consequences if they arent, there are so many tests etc that they simply must do. You've had quite a few different scans, tests and ecgs and all have come back normal - I remember you going through the very same process a while back with headaches. Are you taking any anti anxiety medication and are you going to be getting any form of counselling?
What I would suggest is to phone NHS direct in future. OR do an inital assessment on their website - before going to A&E. Tell them you have anxiety issues too - keep fighting for help for the anxiety. You're fine :hugs: read over all your past threads, we've all told you this time and time again.

No matter what your medical records say about your anxiety, it would be more than their career was worth to fob anyone off displaying real symptoms of DVT - quite simply you do not have it and they are confident of this.
The real problem is that you are worrying to much about it (but you already know this hun anyway).
Please don't feel scared, they would not have let you out of there if they had the tiniest doubt about your symptoms.
:hugs:
Just feel like the docs arent listening. In such a state hun there on about me going in hospital cos not coping saying these pains r due to high anxiety just taking every day at a time at mo.

They're right - it is due to high anxiety. The difficult thing is that the anxiety is causing you to believe its something far scarier thus you get more and more anxious. If we could get rid of the anxiety you'd see things as they really are. Going into hospital might really help you, you know - it would help you recover and be a better mum to your kids xx

Why aren't you calling the out of hours GP like I suggested instead of going to A&E?
You post on here as if it is almost a good thing that you keep going to A&E yet you know deep down there is nothing wrong and it is such a waste of NHS resources to be honest.
You really do need to do something Bev as this is not the way forward.
Go into hospital and you will see how awful it is and will soon want to be out again trust me!

Hi Bev
I have just read your post
You have had all the tests and they have all come back fine
When your anxiety is at the level that yours is at the moment you imagine that you have got ev erything and they all seem so real.
You have got to start beleiving what everyone is saying to you otherwise you will not get over this anxiety.
Start beleiving
I have been to a funeral today and my anxiety was higher than it should be but I did not let it take over me I kept saying to myself it is only anxiety and that is what you have got to do as well
Look after yourself.

hi bev
im posting this as a friend and as someone that probably caused a argument for people being a bit off but im sorry hun
you have to start believeing its anxiety this has been going on for such a long time now and you are posting same things and you have had sooooo many tests done now more than most people and i can assure you now your probably in better health then most of us on here, having just had a baby ou would have been chesked over so much and now you have had all these tests done and backwards and forwards to a and e.
what do you want the doctors to do chick?
they cant do anymore for you only you can help yourself and the only way to do that is to trat yourself for anxiety cos tahts all you have.
im different i have been through the belief of having dvt and as soon as a doctor told me it wast i got the reassurance straight away.
My breathing has been terrible and anxiety esculated for the past few days after i was doing si well the reason stressing about my little boy and moving.
im soo sorry if it sounds harsh but i dont no what you want us all to say any more because we are giving you reassurance but you dont except it.
high anxiety can cause pains verywhere it can mae you feel so ill and like a 90 year old your putting your body through so much hell xxx

I dont think going to a&e is a good thing the pain was so strong thats why went. I know what hospital is like i saw it friday when i was gonna go in. Have u been in?
Just feel like the docs arent listening. In such a state hun there on about me going in hospital cos not coping saying these pains r due to high anxiety just taking every day at a time at mo.

My point about going to A&E is just call the out of hours doctor and they will see you so you don't have to keep going to A&E.
I have calf pain all the time as well - no idea what causes it but I am not up at A&E all the time with it.
Is this the psyc ward in a normal NHS hospital or a private one?
i am sorry i dont want to offend anyone but i do feel as though a few comments are a little bit harsh...... we have all been there at some point where we are truely and utterley convinced that we are in danger of something serious..myself i have even done the 999 call. a waste of resources i suppose but we pay our national insurance and at that moment in time when you truely beleive there is something wrong instinct and panic takes over. instead of making anx mum feel guilty about her actions maybe support would be the way forward and to say there is light at he end of the tunnel even if it is after a few trips to a & e . i am sure she knows deep down herself that maybe a & e was a bit drastic but like i say "in the moment" its what you do..... you have to learn in your own time and way to control this. xxxx rebecca
Have you been given any Diazapam to take this time ? You really need to try and relax a bit Bev ,or you will end up in there ..All your tests are negative ,this is just like last time do you remember last year ? It will pass once you start accepting and relaxing your body and mind . This is just a fear you have ,and your Anxiety is feeding off it ,it causes all sorts of symptoms .It isnt going to harm you Physically, only you can change whether you are going to let it harm you mentally, more than it has already . Its your choice Bev . stay strong xsue

i have had a look at her posts , that is all i no of bev is just reading her posts to be honest. i do understand your frustrations but i also feel from bevs point of view that the vicious circle that you are stuck in is that you dont beleive anyone , thats the whole point of having health anxiety??? i mean i dont no if bev has been offered help and declined it or anything like that but i can understand the thing about reassurance not working and also about needing it constantly even if it works for a minute then you are worrying again. i have been in an ambulence at least 10 times from 999 calls....am i proud of it?? definatly not..would i do it now??? definatly not BUT i do understand why she is reacting this way xxx

Hi Bev, hope you feeling a bit better today?
I posted to you when you first joined NMP, as you were a new mum, and I felt you were depressed. This has obviously quickly developed into anxiety.
My anxiety started after the birth of my son. Ive since read a lot of research into mothers who have hormonal changes after birth which dont seem to get better, and lead to panic and anxiety.
Im going to suggest that you ask your GP for a hormone test, as I dont think you have post partum depression now, as its gone on too long. You may have a hormonal imbalance, which I know from personal experience has a massive impact on anxiety levels. Its just a simple blood test, nothing to worry about. Do you think its something youd like to enquire about, just to rule it out?
As for a dvt/pe.....I had a scare a few monthes ago after taking the pill. My left calf swelled in size, was hot and red. I went to A&E, where it was measured (the affected limb is ALWAYS bigger)...and they did a blood test, which shows up cell changes and the results are available immediately. They also ask questions related to a special chart that measures your risk. Im sure you had all these things like me. It turns out I didnt have it after all, and a few days later it was gone. You need to be assured you dont have a dvt, youd know by now, and more to the point, they definately would have found it, so put it out of your mind. Your chest pains are anxiety. Try re-breathing into a paper bag, and use lavender instead of valium 3 times a day, as valium is highly addictive. As per previous post, maybe use half a tablet at a time, especially as you have a baby to look after, and can make you drowsy and disorientated.
So, will you consider asking your GP for a hormone test?

Shows levels of different hormones in your body. I don't know much about it but I know if they're out of whack they can leave you feeling the way you are - sort of like PMT but worse I think.

All I can suggest for your leg is a cold compress and elevate the leg, so try that. You do not have a dvt or the doctors would have spotted it.
A hormone test will show if you are oestrogen dominant, too much oestrogen can give you major anxiety. Its a simple blood test, ask your GP. A lot of women with anxiety are found to be oestrogen dominant following childbirth. Im not saying you have a hormone problem, its to rule it out. Thanks Bev for acknowledging my long post to you, it took over half an hour with my hands in these blooming splints. Always nice to get a thank you.

No worries mate, you were being supportive of her thats all, I am sorry she just doesent realise that anyone who takes the time and trouble to reply all mean well.
We are all on here for the same reason , some of us take poitive action and the advice offered, some dont.
I am not the most tolerant person I admit, but I do try and see all prospectives, I am sorry but she is ignoring all issues that will help her.
AND IT AINT MORE TESTS!!!
Bev. All i have to say is i really hope you get well soon. x. You will get there in the end, do you accept your problems are because your anxious?

its not that you had tests done bedv so many people on here have had tests done
its that you post so much about one pain (fine as i have been guilty of that)
BUT when we respon you dont listen to us and read back through this post you only answered people that was mentioning more tests or was over kind.
i supported you and sympthasied and wanted more than anything to help you cos i i understand exctly how your feeling.
prolem is when i post i listen too what people are saying cos i no i have anxiety.
so do you bev you no this you need to try and accept it xxxx
i do wish you all the luck in getting better
Nothing I can say that hasn't already been said Bev - just to say that I agree with what everyone else is saying - you need help and not for the pain but for the anxiety. You can go to as many A&E departments as you like, have as many tests as you like but it wont fix your anxiety, it just fuels it. It is sometimes disheartening when you don't reply - by nature a lot of us with anxiety are very caring people and just want to help you hun. Deep down you obviously know it's anxiety - you wouldn't be posting on an anxiety forum otherwise.

He could have sent you for private therapy for the ammount its cost the Nhs on ALL the tests youve had .Not one of them has said you have anything serious .Surely this is telling you and him something .? You really need help for your Anxiety not more wasted time and money on tests .Hes just trying to Stop you from BEING ANXIOUS sending you for these things all the time ,but its NOT WORKING .I cant believe for a minute he thinks you need them after all youve had already .Its disgraceful .Sorry I know thats harsh but its the truth .The only thing that will make you better is acceptance and treatment for your Anxiety .Please see this as something positive. as you will be like this for the rest of your life if you dont..Sue x

Bev
Are you on any other meds other than diazapam ? My dr only prescribed these very short term before putting me on citralapram .
I,ve only suffered HA since late last year .
Diazapram only relaxes you , (help me here peeps) you need other meds to get a break from this cycle ??
Yes you are right Mel .Diaz is only for short term use ,because its addictive .Bev needs some therapy as she has an underlying fear of having DVT .This is because her Mum had one .She would benefit from CBT. SSRIs would help short term for her anxiety but its up to her if she wants to take this type of Meds or not .Her Dr seems to be doing anything for a quiet life .Also covering his own back I think .Not the best way forward imo .sue x
Bev.Just want to send some hugs thinking you might need some.:bighug1::bighug1:Love Petra x:flowers:
Bev the treatment for you is not more tests but cbt/counessling, please please please beg your gp for this
