Hello all..per my original post here I I have been fearful of having dvt and pe. I had an elevated d dimer in February along with pain behind my knee. I had a negative leg ultrasound to rule out dvt. Following this i had a chest CT which was also negative. Unfortunately I went to the dr. Todayfor mild chest pain. They did an ekg that showed a right bundle branch block. They also did a d dimer and cardiac blood work which all came back negative. A simple google search shows me that a rbbb can be caused by a pulmonary embolism .my clean lung CT was in the beginning of February. Now I'm scared of a PE and of heart problems. Please help!
