Sprained ankle and breathing issues?

[TheEmmaDilemma]

Not sure if there is any possibility of these being related?

On 14th Feb, I sprained my ankle and slightly tore a ligament in my foot (per the walk in (haha) clinic on the 23rd when it didn't seem to be getting better.

It's now feeling a lot better but I feel like there is a massvie pressure on my chest. Like someone is restricting it. Possibly around before the sprain but not so bad?

Is it possibly related? Could a blood clot or something like that be possible? Or just badly timed two illnesses?

You need to see a doctor. Lack of mobility can lead to clots. Go to A and E.

Do you have asthma? Have you been taking ibuprofen?

Definitely go to A&E in case its a clot .

Ok thanks. I guessed that was going to be the response.

Crap. Another walk in tomorrow then...

No Asthma. But previous lung problems. ICU around 20 years ago with pneumonia. Still (yes I know) a smoker but reduced massively.

It's also causing what feels like high heart rate and heart burn.

Taking ibuprofen. Well, I was.

It could be your vagus nerve causing the high heart rate because of the heartburn, acid reflux. Best to get it checked out asap.

Are you ok? Did you get checked out?
