Just to say I'm calling the dr tomorrow.
Last week I was sent on an urgent referral to hospital to check for pulmonary embolism as I had shortness of breath and palpitations and had given birth the week before. They decided it wasn't pulmonary embolism despite raised d dimer because raised d dimer can happen post partum. They did discover I am severely anaemic and I'm now on iron tablets. Anyway, the day after I'd been at hospital I came up with a bruise/vein in my lower leg and ankle. It's tender to touch and at times hard to put weight on. A few days on and it hasn't changed and isn't swollen but my whole leg aches. It didn't yesterday but the aching is back today. I'm terrified it is a clot. I don't want to be away from my baby. Do they keep you in hospital if they discover a clot? I was wondering about varicose veins also but no idea if i have that. My leg does feel lumpy in places but no obvious bulging veins.
