A member asked:
D-dimer slightly high .64 with minor sob/chest pain, pcp wont see me before thursday. is this an emergency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
D- dimer is not a specific test and a mildly high level does not mean much. However, shortness of breath and chest pain are serious enough for an urgent care visit.
