Thrombosis: Detecting a developing blood clot is a challenging problem in the early stages. Pain and swelling are pretty good symptoms once it is developed. The relation to your chest pain is still uncertain. You could have been showering small emboli to your lungs, even with a value of 500 (which is likely below the threshold for your lab.) Further radiologic study (leg US, etc) may help clarify things.

I had a ultrasound of my leg to rule out a blood clot but my left calf hurts daily even when resting. I have had an echo of my heart & sonogram. I have left arm pain, right temple pain & an ice cold stomach but a warm body. My chest burns. Why?

A blood clot in arm/chest or leg would I be able to feel it & would that mean if it reaches my heart/lungs/brain I die or can it dissolve alone ?

I have had pain now and again in my right leg. Its not there just now, but my usual heart palpitations feel worse the past 2 days and I feel like on and off chest pain for 2 days. Scared I have a blood clot? How likely? Would pain come and go if so?

Hi there. Ive been experiencing chest pain, a rapid heart rate (which I normally do have), shortness of breath and pain in my right leg, thigh and arm. I am worried that it could be a blood clot as I am on contraception and had a +d dimer in April?
