Elevated D Dimer
So, i went to the doctor today because I've been having left shoulder pain. Blood pressure came back a little high (140.) we did a chest X-ray which came back negative. We then did a D-Dimer which came back elevated, 650. The doctor said it was a "little high" but it seems high to me based on 250. Should I pursue further testing? CT came back fine.
