Get evaluated today: You need a physical exam and a detailed history of this issue. There are a number of possible explanations, but in a young person like you with a history of prior DVT/PE, you should be evaluated in person, today if possible. Your health is your number 1 priority. Call your doc, if you can't get a visit today, the acute care/emergency setting is reasonable. No one will fault you for being cautious.
