Anxiety about Blood Clot!

[lilb09]

Ok guys... I know this is stupid, but I've got this sudden fear of a blood clot forming in my leg. Recently I've been sleeping alot because it's summer... and i'm on break. When I get up to walk around, the back side of my knee kinda goes numb.. and it goes up the muscle in my leg towards my butt. It goes away.. its not tingly like when your foot falls asleep. I'm sure it's nothing serious... I mean I don't have any swelling I don't think and I'm in good shape, I'm not overweight.. and I've never had any problems.. and it's not a pain. It just made me have an anxiety attack and now I feel sick.. :( Now every pain I get makes me freak out. Please give me some insight.

lol ... thanks. I was having a major panic attack. My poor grandma I call her if I have any minor pain or discomfort because she is a nurse.  I wouldn't even know a thing about blood clots if it weren't for my friend dying because of them- and she was sick. And I guess since theres never been anything wrong with me when I was at home... not I think everything is wrong with me because I moved away to another state! Goodness.. Well thank you for your reply. it made me feel better lol

lol You sound like me. Every little weird feeling is some kind of aliment. Seeing a doctor to be safe is always best. So do that.  

I doubt your sleeping enough for that to be a problem you should be more worried about the amount of time you spend sitting. All I can say is see a doc if it keeps up. sorry
