Hi Della my advice is seek medical help, don't try and deal with this on your own. You may need antibiotics, so please seek some advice. Take care and please let us know how you are getting on, take care. 😊 Bernadette xxx

Hello Della, welcome to this forum. When you talk about clots was that in your lungs and when did that happen? Sorry about the interrogation, I am curious because I had PEs and it was painful. I do think you should see a doctor ASAP.

All the best

Sounds like a doctors visit is on the cards for you. Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Della65, this sounds painful, give your doctor a ring asap x

[Judith56]

As everyone else has suggested it’s time to call your doctor or go to the emergency at the hospital. You are in my prayers!

Need to get it checked out. Chest pain to that degree needs checking ASAP . A&E is your best route.

I would go to go or ring for ambulance best to be safe. And ad you say you are gasping when you walk. They won't mind.

Hi, seems you should really get a home visit from your GP.

can only go on my own experience and this may not of course apply to you but I get severe pain in what seems to be my lungs but have worked out it is embarrassingly trapped wind in the upper stomach that presses on the diaphragm, which I can ease sometimes by gently using my hand as a soft fist and doing gentle circular motions and/or by trying to burp it out these usually work for me but you should get checked out as others say by a doctor - good luck xx

Another possibility for the pain you describe is gallstones especially if it occurs shortly after A meal

I wish you well. I hope you have some relief very soon...it's so not easy to be in that kind of pain.
