I went to LA for 5 days and on my flight back my feet and ankles started swelling slightly. When I got back to my hotel and elevated them immediately. I was however concerned and called 111 as I was worried about the potential of DVT. They told me to just carry on elevating and I would be fine. After a few hours I noticed both my legs were red so I phoned them again and they referred me to pharmacy to phone me.
I was better in the morning but ankles were still slightly swollen. The pharmacy phoned and asked for an update and when I said the swelling had decreased they said that it was just swelling from travel and if it got worse to phone back.
I then went home and as it was hot I had a nap, when I woke I felt like I was breathing weirdly so again I phoned 111 and they booked me in to go to the hospital to get check in the morning.
when I got there the doctor examined me and took my blood to test. The test came back fine and he said he’s certain it’s not a clot and to just keep the legs elevated when possible.
Its been a week and the swelling has gone however in the back of my calf it still feels a little tight and I get throbbing in both my legs every so often.
Should I go back to the doctor and Get it check again? I have really bad anxiety incase it is DVT
