Need to evaluate: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a hematologist and get evaluated for thrombophilia. Elevated D-dimer per se is not of concern, but your prior history suggestive of venous thrombosis, makes it more serious.
