High D-Dimer Level/Negative CT

Posted , 1 user is following.

Three weeks ago i had rotator cuff surgery. 5 days ago i started having shortness of breath and a little chest pain. I went in to the doc today. My d-dimer was 2300 so they did a chest CT with contrast but it was all clear. Doc did not have further explanation other than it was probably high due to my surgery. I still feel uneasy, should I?
