Had a doctors appt today with my GP. She said my heart was beating fast (I drove myself all the way up there in panic mode cause of my legs) and did an EKG which came out normal. I hope that does'nt have anything to do with my legs. i hate this fear!!! i forgot to say anything to my doc about it. I don't know  Any suggestions???? |
Try to let go of the DVT fear! Most times (like 99.999999% of the time), DVT is in ONE leg...not both. So both legs would not swell with DVT, most of the time.
I recently had both my legs swell up on a drive home from Oregon...over the mountains, into the heat. As soon as I got home and put my legs up, the swelling went down.
