Further to my post from earlier this week.....I had a raised D dimer Saturday when attended UCC, started on Apixaban, had scan today for DVT.

Dr told me there is NO clot! He wouldn't say what else it could be, he will scan again in a week, take the thinners til I have used the weeks supply.....but not sure about that!

Anybody been in the same scenario please who can shed some light?? My anxiety has shifted to another focus altogether!

Thank you

I had a high D diner and after CT they found nothing. I was sent on my merry way and that was 4 years ago now. Sometimes high D dimer doesn’t mean anything.

Thank you for your reply! I looked it up and the first thing it said was cancer, so now I'm worried again beyond ridiculous! Did your pains disappear? Mine are just as bad. Glad all was good!!

everything resolved for me in the end. Google can be a scary thing for those of us with health anxiety.
