[|Human|] My d-dimer reads 1.21. I know that this is high. Chest x- ray and CT scan came back normal. I have experienced slight discomfort in my chest such as pressure and shoulder and neck pain for the last 8 weeks now. My MD referred me to a cardiologist. What could possibly be wrong with me? My age is 50 and I live a very healthy lifestyle.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion, no need to worry about this d-dimer report. As it is not too much high. And your chest x-ray and CT scan are normal, so possibility of pulmonary embolism is ruled out. You are referred to cardiologist for pressure in chest. So get done ECG first. If it is also normal than no need to worry as it is mostly due to stresses and anxiety. So avoid stress and be relaxed and keep calm.
