Seriously scared, going to the hospital tomorrow

My stomach pain has been the same. I didn't have any bathroom visits and my last meal was takeout which is all I had yesterday. As for my leg, I've had tightness in my calves for a couple weeks that's kind of just been there. I didn't suspect it was a blood clot until a few days ago from lots of searching about why my leg is tight in the first place. It's not beyond tolerance but it's still concerning enough for me to go. My leg isn't swollen, red, discolored, warm to the touch, or in lots of pain while walking. I can also breathe and I'm free of chest pain. None of it seems to align with a blood clot, but I'm still worried about it. My plan was to go to a hospital to check if this is or isn't a blood clot.

If it helps, I have a history of sciatica like symptoms that have lasted for years. I think that may play a role into it but if so that means it could be getting worse I usually feel it in my entire leg but now it's just on my calf.

@BigGyro09 Ok there we go! Pieces to the puzzle. I only ask cause I’m an EMT lol. Ok so let’s break this down. Just to preface, I am not giving a diagnosis. I also have health anxiety and think every little thing is something serious. I understand it’s hard to breakaway from the thoughts and what ifs. Stomach pains: The stomach pains could be from lack of bowel movements, trapped gas and the food you’re taking in. It could just as well be anxiety related, too. Chest pains: lack of chest pains and no pain at all is amazing. I always say if your chest is tight get it checked out. Although with anxiety we often experience chest pains with it because our body is working over time to compensate during fight or flight. But no chest pains is an immediate plus! Calve pain: Given the fact that you have a history of sciatica is definitely a key factor in the pain. Not noticing any swelling or discoloration is amazing. Pain free during movement is awesome as well. Overall I think you should try and drinking more water or an electrolyte drink. Massage the area on your leg and even try a heating pad. You could have built up muscle tension. For your stomach, definitely try sleeping on the side that doesn’t hurt and have something that binds your stomach up. If these pains continue to be concerning you are more than ok by getting checked out. You can do this! Relax your mind and body to the best of your ability. If you ever need to talk I’m always happy to hop back in this thread!💚💚

I'm very sorry you had to experience a blood clot. Thank God you caught it and you're okay! My calf isn't swollen. If anything, I always thought my left calf looked a little smaller than my right one though idk if it actually is. I'm still going to go because I just want an answer for why this has been happening for a couple weeks. It's just been persistent, dull aching.

@BigGyro09 Excellent! I’m so happy you went! Advocate for yourself always.

@littleenginebigheart Thanks so much for your support!!

Hey!! It's been a while. I hope you've been doing well. My doctors did their parts and definitely delivered today. There was no clot and my worries have greatly subsided! I'm just really really tired at the moment because I woke up out bed early but still good. How have you been?

@BigGyro09 Omg get some rest!! OCD is so exhausting like painfully so 😭 im glad your doctors were able to clear you (hopefully they were kind about it) ♡ Im doing okay! I got a new job recently which is nice, still fighting real event ocd though.

@Northern_Downpour They were very kind, chill, and patient about it! It just took some blood work, an ultrasound, but a little bit of a lot of waiting. Good experience though! Now I can get a good night's rest now that this is off my mind. Congrats on getting your new job!! Sorry that real events are still a challenge though. It is for me too at times. But you aren't alone :)

@BigGyro09 Yesss thats great!! Hopefully you slept well. And thank you! I appreciate that 🖤
