This time I’m panicking over blood clots. Now I know my heart is fine, keep worrying that the pains I get every now and then in my legs and chest, with the palpitations and feeling short of breath must be blood clots.
Mentioned it to my GP, and they dismissed the idea completely still can’t help feeling this intense fear and worry

Hi Ellesbells, nice to see you again. I'm sorry the worry of blood clots is on your mind.
It's good that you talked to your doctor about it but now you have to dismiss the constant
worry. If he were the least bit concerned, he would have ordered some tests for you.
Exercise, eat properly and stay hydrated. Your body will thank you by dismissing some of those aches and pains in your legs and chest. The palps will reduce in number when you are
well hydrated. As for feeling short of breath, try not to worry so much, watch your posture
as when we worry, we stand and sit with our shoulders rolled inward as well as our head, not
giving our lungs the space they need to expand and oxygenate properly. You're okay xx
Hi. So sorry that you're going through this. I've been in the same boat yesterday & 2day. Pretty sure I've got a clot and having a heart attack. Shoulder pain & sme chest pain & not feeling right at all. I didn't want to go to ER or doc like last time my anxiety got the best of me so I've waited it out. I had forgotten that a while back I started making a list on my phone of things that spike my anxiety and/or things that have happen b4 & what it felt like. Anyhow, I'm glad I did because for the past hour after reading my own words & realizing I've felt just like this b4, I'm feeling like it's lifting. Or I sure hope so cus it's been a rough 2 days. Even my meditation wasn't seeming 2 help much yesterday. Good luck & I hope it passes soon for both of us! It's horrible.
Thank you so much, and I’m so sorry you’re going through it to it’s terrifying isn’t it! My struggle at the moment is accepting it’s anxiety I think because if feels like so much more. I’m only 22, so know that the chances of it are so low, yet I could be a bit fitter and healthier. Think that’s what worries me. Just stuck in a vicious cycle I know I’ve felt this way before, but every time seems a little worse which makes me worry more feel free to message me anytime if you need some help too, we can and will get through this
Yes it's terrifying! Same here & it makes it so hard doesn't it? I mean anxiety can make us feel so many different things & once you've already went to a doc and had test done b4 on things you , or I now do, tend to just wait out whatever it is because I'm afraid it's just my anxiety again. That can be a good or bad thing. I will say, I've not ran to the doctor & waited it out & was fine after my anxiety finally passed. But, I'm still always thinking what if it's really not my anxiety this time. 😔 It's exhausting I know. Thank you & you can message me anytime too.
