A member asked:
Having chest pains and shortness of breath. scared of pulmonary embolism. had normal d dimer 2 weeks ago. should i be retested?

Pulmonary embolus: You should see your doctor for evaluation and advice. If you are at very low risk for PE and are having symptoms more likely from another source, being seen will be more important than advice from the web.
