Was having labored breathing, under lots of stress the last month, BP, was 144/110, went to my pcp, did many BP checks, and EKG, was a bit off, sent me to ER, chest X-ray, EKG there was told good, did blood, was told I needed a cat scan with contrast, which was fine, was told dimmer was 5, any thing over 2 is not normal, could be a pulmonary embolism, told they found, nothing, was kept overnight, did echocardiogram, was fine, discharged, only told. D dimmer can be high due to cancer, auto immunize diseases, pregnant, none of which I have, NO ONE can tell me why this is high, can it be DVT, or a clot , help, please, thanks
