Hello & welcome.

I would suggest that you visit the ER soon. There can be a possibility of a clot or a thrombus. A venogram may be needed. Also do not skip any medications especially blood thinners or anticoagulants. Also consult your cardiologist for the matter.

Hope I helped you in your query.
Thank you so much.
Take care.
