i went to the hospital a week today with palps they did all heart checks and a d dimer to check for clots had this test done countless times last yr when i was having a bad time and it was always negative...this time was positive cut off of 230 mine was 310 ...got sent for emergency ct scan of chest came back clear
was put on celexane for 3 days until leg doppler as one of my legs bit more swollen then other which isnt completlly new its always been a little bigger
had the full left leg scanned on the monday ...clear....
came home couldnt sleep eat just sat in constant state of aneixty as to why suddenly my test had been positive
spoke to my gp who said it can be positive for lots of different reasons but i just dont get why it is positive this time
next day i couldnt cope anymore so i went back to hospital as leg was hurting they re did the d dimer and again was raised their cut off was 243 mine came back 263 so not as raised but still raised he wanted a full scan done of both legs but radiology refused as they said it was pointless
so i had my left leg rescanned but from groin to knee this time ...again clear
today my other leg has started hurting! i just dont get why all the other times it was negative yet this time its positive twice i cant sleep with worry that they have missed something i cant go back to hospital again because they just think im crazy has anyone had a positive d dimer on here before but no clot?
