i experienced this and so have many of my girl friends!. i went to the dr and they did an ekg and chest x-rays!. it was inflammation of the chest wall due to overexertion and high stress from my job!. i thought i was having a heart attack, I've had panic attacks before but i knew this was different!. the dr said he sees alot of this in women because we take on alot of responsibility with our jobs, family ,friends and work!. but definitely get checked out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
could be pleurisy, this is inflammation in the lining if your lungs!. Google it and see about the symptoms!. I very highly doubt that is has something to do with the blood clots, especially 8!.5 months ago!. I would go with something more along the lines of cold set in the lung, or pleurisy!.!.!.but it is good that you are seeing your doc!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
