Positive d-dimer a week ago with chest pain but it was pneumonia but my leg now hurts, should i see a doc now or wait a couple of days to see my pcp?

Be seen: If your leg is hurting and your d-dimer is elevated, you could have a blood clot. Be seen immediately.

See doctor now: With pain in your leg, chest pain, and an elevated d-dimer you should be seen by someone who can determine if you have a blood clot in your leg and possibly in your lung.
