Hey guys!
So I've been having some pain/heaviness in my left leg and it came after a roatrip so I went to the ER and got an ultrasound which was negative, but then my regular doc wanted to do a d dimer which came back high. The exact value was .54 which was above the .49 cut off.
Needless to say when he said it was high I freaked and went back to the ER where they refused image testing and decided instead to repeat the d dimer which came back normal at .33.
I am still nagged by that first positive test and the fact that my leg is not better. I'm terrified I have a clot somewhere.
I'm unsure what to do next. Any advice? I know the first test wasn't that high and I wonder if it was a mistake or not that significant.
