I maybe worrying about nothing, that is not unheard of!
however, I had had a productive cough for around 8 weeks, was given an inhaler by GP and told I’d need a chest X-ray if it didn’t go away in 2 weeks, it seemed to get better, then it came back, I then tested positive for covid, been testing negative for a few days now.
I have some swelling on my upper shin, under the knee, today while just sat on a chair at work I got an intense sharp pain in the area but thought nothing of it, noticed that a bruise has appeared in the area with swelling and where I felt the pain.
move had some minor cramping, and there’s some mild pain in my foot, but that seems muscular more than anything, and it is very minor. I also broke my foot in august so very well may be related to that. Also it’s not in the same place as the swelling.
mild breathlessness on and off for the past couple of months. But again, very mild.
I can’t even decide if it is actual swelling in my leg or if i’m just imaging it due to anxiety! so im going to add a photo.
my heart rate is high too, consistently between 110 and 125 at rest. It’s been high for a few weeks now though.
I feel like i should speak to the out of hours GP, but then in the back of my mind, I wonder whether this is just anxiety.
I will definitely speak to them, but just wanted opinions on the swelling that I am “perceiving”
It’s the left leg, below the knee. No pain in my calf.
