Hi, Im An 18 Year Old Male And I Have

Hi, Im an 18 year old male and i have been suffering from chest pains on and off for a couple of months now. I went to the doctor with these complaints and they did blood work. My D-dimer came back at 459 so they ordered for a CT of my chest to look for clotting. The CT came back negative but im wondering why my D-dimer would be so high for someone my age. Any ideas?
