hi ! its been almost 4 years since i was posting here! i was on sertaline for 3 years and helped me a lot, i was experiencing a lot of 'heart related' symptoms , palpitations chest pain fast heart rate&been ruled out by a lot of cardiologist and a lot of test that was not related! i have a year that im not taking sertaline anymore and i felt very good till two weeks ago! two weeks ago i got strep throat and was on antibiotics for 10 days ! but since than i havent feel weell at all, first a very bed headache that send me to ER,they did head scan &blood works and all was ok! i have like 3 days having a pain in my right leg extremities , calf , no swollen,no warm to touch ,no change of color of my feet,but of course i panicked and thought of DVT ! i was at immediate care today , doctor did evaluate didnt suspect anything but orderd a feet ultrasound ,which came back normal! they say i dont need to worry and i dont need anymore test! But i dont know why i have hard time accepting diagnosis! Always woried for the worst (sorry for the typos)
I understand your concern, but right now you need to realize that there was no DVT found. You are fine. What is happening is that you are overthinking this and your mind is coming up with negative thoughts. You need to take control over your mind because otherwise your life will just feel miserable every time you feel aches or pains. 99% of all aches and pains are not harmful. Believe me, it’s not worth it. I did this for over 30 years and it’s a huge burden to carry around with you and nothing bad ever happened! It was a waste of my life. Please don’t do this to yourself. I would highly advise you speaking with a counselor about your anxiety because this is very difficult to do alone. It helps to vent to somebody who can help you manage this. Take care . go on YouTube and listen to some meditations for anxiety, overthinking, fear, etc.
thank you so much for your reply , i just have the bad habbit to check everything on the gogle , and the doctor didnt do any further tests on me ! she said i dont need considering my age and health, but can you just dissmis a blood cloot only with a ultrasound ? now i feel shortness of breath and i dont know whats going on and if im having a PE
