Confusing: Many conditions can cause a false positive D-Dimer. Even having a blood test draw a couple days before. The better value of a D-Dimer is when it is negative. You can nearly always (but not 100%) know there is not a clot. You need the input of a knowledgable Dr. Do you have other risks of clots? Any other symptoms? Sometimes the best treatment is watchful waiting to see if something changes.
