I'm paranoid about blood clots and embolisms at 6 days post op

Hi Everyone! I am 6 days post op and I'm just driving myself and everyone in my household insane about embolisms and blood clots. I'm so paranoid I'm going to get one. I did wear the stockings before , during and after surgery for a few days, walked in the hospital and was given heparin shots everyday while I was there and have been walking at home. I just am freaking out that I may die. Can anyone tell me the symptoms of blood clots or embolisms, I would feel much better knowing in case I get one. Funny that I researched all this before going in, and now after the fact it's bothering me. Thanks!!
