Hi again
Does your worry focus on getting blood clots in your lungs again? If so, another route to follow would be to get accurate info on how to recognise early symptoms *if* it happens again, and what to do (presumably call an ambulance?) And whether you are at any more risk than anyone else, and if so if there is any way of reducing the risk.
Best bet for this might be a consultation with the relevant consultant- whether you can swing this via work or need to go private...
Of course, info isnt always the solution to worry. You've been thru something very frightening and its normal to be preoccupied by it, as well as possibly set off into psychological problems.
But it might help.
Anyway, you're quite right to persist- the GP(s) arent doing their job properly to leave you like this. And even it something is 'all in the mind', it doesnt mean that its a problem to be ignored.
I'll get off my soapbox.
Look after yourself!
