I don't know...I just think all those things are highly unlikely. I'm young (only 22) and healthy otherwise, never get sick...I'm just seriously klutzy and have injured my ankles too many times to count, starting in the fourth grade. I just figure it's related to my repeated injuries, like a stress type thing.
The last time I had symptoms that I and my mom thought were serious, (totally unrelated to this), back in 2009 I went to the doc, had a whole battery of tests done and ABSOLUTELY nothing was wrong, he chalked it all up to stress that time.
I've been really busy and my job has me on my feet a lot, plus I walk all over campus at school and park in a parking lot far away from the academic buildings I use.
My family has a flight to Pittsburgh tomorrow and I just don't have time at the moment. Maybe when I get back if it's still an issue I'll pursue something...
Good luck! I hope it turns out to be nothing serious. I was 19 when I developed a blood clot in my arm. I was otherwise completely healthy, no documented illness that would contribute to the clot, no birth control pills, no other symptoms, nothing at all that would explain it. It was just one of those freak things. Thankfully, I didn't lose my arm - or my life - but apparently it was iffy for a while there.
Personally there's no way I'd get on a plane if I was already exhibiting symptoms of possible blood clots. They are too dangerous to mess around with and I'd want the peace of mind that a clean bill of health from a doctor would give me.
