I have been having pretty bad aching pain in both of my legs, sometimes dull and sometimes sharp. It is mainly in the calves but sometimes goes all the way up my thighs. Other symptoms I have are chest pain, pain when breathing, and back pain. I went to the Dr. For this and they did blood tests and a lung scan for a clot in the lung and a chest angiography for a clot in the heart. They never did anything to test my legs for clots though. They sent me home, but i'm still worried that clots are causing the symptoms. Could it all just be anxiety?

How long have you been having these problems? I have now had pretty serious anxiety for just over 3 years I just turned 30. I went through the same thing you are going through. I think the first year it was I thought I was going to have a heart attack all the time. Then it moved to the second year I thought I had blood clots in my legs because of the pain I was getting and also the loss of feeling in parts of my body at times. I now have a mixture of things that feel wrong with me. I have never gotten over it at all but I do think I have gotten better with dealing with it. I too think I have had every test done and they never found anything yet. I just try and yell myself I am here and I have better things to worry about.
