Are Blood Clots And Edema Related?

I have edema in my legs and feet, the right more than the left. Also difficulty breathing at times, a constricted airway. I also have slight tremors in my hands. I was at the ER two days ago, they thought I might have a blood clot. Two CT scans of my chest, one CT of abdomen, blood tests, EKG, and ultrasounds of both legs. Everything tested normal. Any ideas?

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Oedema in leg with respiratory problem suggest some renal pathology. You should go for complete kidney function test. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
