A few weeks ago I went into the e.R. For "heart attack" symptoms...Chest pain, arm pain, hard time breathing plus a whole bunch more. I had blood work done like d-dimer, pt, ptt, troponin, ck/cpk, along with a chest xray, ekg, and ct angiography of the chest. The Dr. Said my blood clotting factors were high so they had to do the angio and xray to rule out a blood clot in my heart. Okay, anyway, they sent me home and didn't say if anything was wrong so I assumed there was not. But anyway, then I started worrying about blood clots since she said my clotting levels were high. So then my legs started hurting badly, especially while in bed but not so much when walking, and my chest still hurts and I keep coughing cuz it feels like there is stuff in my lungs/chest that needs to be coughed up, like I keep clearing my throat all the time. I am not coughing anything up though. I was and still am worried about a blood clot in my lungs and dvt. So last night I went into the e.R. Again and told the nurse my symptoms. I told her I had been in a few weeks ago, and she said they tell almost everyone thier d-dimer test is high so they can do the other tests so they can get paid for them. She also said if they did tests a few weeks ago and nothing was wrong I am probably fine now and it seems like anxiety. She said I could still see the Dr. If I wanted but I opted not to cuz of the cost of the bill and she made me feel a bit better by telling me that. So my questions...Does anyone know if the tests I had done a few weeks ago would have showed clots in my legs or lungs? And has anyone had the feeling of having to cough/clear thier throat all the time? I am sick of running to the e.R. And having all these "conditions"!!!!
