Request a d-dimer test. It
is the way they started to look
for mine. Be persistant!! I know that it
is hard to manage the finances of illness, but the alternative is not very appealing.
When I was first diagnosed with DVT's and PE's in January of this year I had let it go for 10 days. I am lucky to still be here. My chest just felt like it had pressure on it. I didn't feel like I could get full lung capacity.
Please get it checked out.
