Oh yeah sugar pea, shortness of breath is critical, remember no complaint is too small.

Being MO we have adopted the attitude of "not being a big deal" the "it will go away" syndrome. We are like that because we are so used to being ignored and taking care of ourselves.. too afraid to go to the Dr out of fear what he/she may say about our weight, or our "problem" being because we are overweight. You know what Im saying, its habit.

Also indicators of blood clots, numbness or tinging in the feet, pain behind your calf, red streaking on the legs or arms.
