What Does My Blood Test Report Indicate?
I had a blood test that showed my tropinon level at 8.65 I had ekg , stress test etc with cardiologist . They said it was a false positive. Has tropinon levels checked 6 weeks later and it was 7.15 Cardiologist still says it is a false positive. 6 months later retested level was 10.85 For third time my cardiologist said it was false positive. Can this blood test really be 3 false positives? What should I do?
