I had chest pain today and eventually went to the hospital. Other symptoms were pain in my upper lefthand back and more pain with movement. I did have a bit of sweating and a heavy feeling when I got up. Symptoms would increase when I exerted myself. They did the normal blood work and my D-dimer test showed a positive, somewhere in the middle is what the nurse said. I had a VQ scan that came back as a low possibility of clot in the lung, but it wasn't negative. Tomorrow I am having a ultrasound on my legs.
If they don't find anything, should they be doing anything else? I've read a little bit about it and it seems like there could a clot from somewhere else possibly, or even another underlying disease.
I can't imagine that this chest pain is just a fluke. This is not something that is common for me. Any help would be appreciated.
