elevated d dimer and enlarged varicose veins are of no concern but your lymphadenopathy requires evaluation based on certain characteristics like size, location, duration of their existence, consistency etc. if you think they are increasing in size, it would be better if you see your doctor and get evaluated. Also important is regular follow up for thyroid malignancy
