Hi, I really just need to vent. I have crippling health anxiety and 5 days ago I felt this dull pain in my forearm that only hurt when I pressed on the area. Of course my mind went to blood clot and I started really fixating on this arm. The pain has subsided now but my anxiety hasn’t at all. I have a long flight tomorrow and I’m just scared shitless because what if I do have a clot and it dislodges during the flight and I can’t get help. I’m really freaking out a lot. I tried getting an appointment with my doctor but she couldn’t give me one on such short notice. I kept contemplating going to the ER but I’ve already gone in the last few months due to other anxiety reasons and I just can’t afford it (yay US). I decided to just go to a walk in clinic today to ease my mind a bit. They told me my arm looks fine and since the pain has gone away, I shouldn’t worry. I went to get peace of mind but I didn’t at all because I keep thinking of people who’ve had DVT with no noticeable symptoms. $35 down the drain. I keep obsessively checking for swelling or a hot sensation of my arm and I feel like it’s hot now. I’m so scared. I’ve also been having this tingly feeling that feels like it’s coming from my elbow and it radiates to my pinky finger. It’s too late to get checked out now and I’m absolutely terrified for this flight.
