They think I have a DVT

If I do it's potentially life threatening

If I don't then they have no clue what's wrong with me

Yay!

X ray, blood test and something else

They're confused because I don't have chest pains which is the most common DVT symptom

I'm so confused

They're saying these symptoms without chest pain is a sign of a heart attack but that it's extremely rare in someone my age and fitness who doesn't smoke

but I thought chest pains would come with a heart attack?

It shouldn't, and you should. IV in for a few mins and you really shouldn't feel it anymore. I'd make mention of it, nothing baby-like about relieving pain.

Definitely mention it.

Anything can be a symptom, and you should definitely give the docs as much information as possible about how you're feeling.

What they are confused about is the cause

I don't smoke, no flights, no trauma, In good shape and no chest pain

it's an extremely weird presentation of DVT.

not relevant to the treatment but apparently once discharged ill have to go to a clinic to research possible causes

Blood clots don't just magically appear so who knows what that means

I can't speak to what your scan looks like - chronic clots don't go away and stay for a long time, fresh clots definitely do break up. The blood thinner doesn't break up the clot, it just ensures that the clots stay stable and don't get bigger, meanwhile your body's natural blood thinning properties slowly chip away at the clot breaking it down. It can take several weeks for it to go away, but fresh clots can and do go away.

But yea if you're young, healthy, no bleeding issues, and they can't figure out why these clots happened, then you'll be on it life-long. Reason being that if you had it once, then you're at higher risk of getting it again. If your clot had no inciting factor, I think its something like 10% in the first year and 30% chance within 5 years of getting another clot if you were to stop the blood thinner.

I treat these for a living.

Yeah crippling leg pain and shortness of breath from basic exertion. My blood oxygen level was 70 and from there DVT was suspected

I think it was my 8th grade science teacher that told us kids about it, so ever since I make a habit to shake my legs out on long flights/car rides

If you stand up or shake your legs once every hour or so I think it eliminates the risk

They said it could be a number of things and just suspected DVT as the most likely

I started in the leg and spread to the lungs

Use of the term "DVT" in this topic is pretty confused. What you have in the lungs is a pulmonary embolus (PE). You might also have a deep vein thrombosis if they found something in your leg, and they often do come together.
