hi everyone! i am 17 years old who suffers from GAD and OCD. i am currently on 75 MG of Zoloft. on and off i have had this anxiety fear about having a blood clot because i felt a throbbing in my calf that goes on and off. its not painfull AT ALL, but its annoying and i can feel it. I freaked out about this and needed reassurance from mt family and friends but they told me that im too young for a blood clot and to not worry, but that obviously didnt help my case. ive gotten 2 ekgs done, blood test, and just general doctor visits and they always tell me my heart is healthy and i am perfectly fine, but over the course of 5 months i became a tiny bit over weight due to side effects of my medication that causes me to over eat. and i do smoke SOMETIMES (NOT CIGARETTES). i am freaking out because I have a pain in my chest from my anxiety about having a blood clot and i cant stop thinking about it. i do eat healthy and am trying to lose the weight i gained (i am active!)
Hi if you had a blood clot you would feel extreme pain and tenderness in your leg and it would be red. So you haven’t got this.
Being a bit overweight or smoking just a little will not give you heart problems either. The human body is a lot tougher than this. Believe your doctors and get out and live your life to the full. x
