In theory yes there is still chance of a clot. But as I said, reading your post I do not believe that you have a clot. But if you do have a clot it is more likely that nothing will change. The clot will stay where it is and your symptoms will stay as they are. I suppose that there is a small chance that the clot could move and cause your symptoms to worsen but I have never seen this happen. I would not expect this clot to move into a position where things become serious.
Just wondering Alan if you can advise me as you seem to know a fair bit about this. I am a teacher and was reading a book today and got very breathless, I sometimes feel like my heart is thumping especially after rushing around and I am still having occassional chest pain not sever but definitely some pain there.
Without being able to examine you I cannot tell you what the problem is. However any unexplained chest pain especially when associated with shortness of breath should be checked out by a doctor as soon as possable.
Went back to hospital tonight and they said still on examination they can disregard clots as oxygen levels are 100%, blood pressure is fine and previous ecgs are fine. He said anemia could cause shortness of breath and my local dr has said whilst my iron levels are within normal range they are low normal so I am on iron tablets. He said palpitations can be normal in pregnancy and the shortness of breath is unexplained however there is no shortness of breath indicated by my oxygen levels.
It could keep reoccurring, it could also not happen again. It would be a good idea to try to find some relaxation techniques that work for you. You could also look for what is triggering these attacks.
The reason I think that it is anxiety is because your symptoms point to a couple of potential problems including anxiety but your test rule out all of these problems apart from anxiety.
