Sleeping sitting up and DVT

I’ve been sleeping semi sitting up for 3 weeks due to a surgery I had which took longer to heal than expected. I’ve had sort of a numb feeling in one leg for a couple of weeks now which has got absolutely no better than it was. I googled sleeping sitting up and it came straight up with DVT. Now I’m worried. It’s not swollen or anything but apparently this doesn’t always happen. It’s not overly painful but feels strange.

Is your calf tender and red? If you are concerned you should call 111.

No it’s not at all. I should mention I have health anxiety, I was also taking the medication that makes your blood clot after my surgery.
