Brief Answer:
You have clotting tendency.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question and your all reports.
I can understand your concern.
Your CBC, kidney function test, electrolytes, lipid profile, Jak 2 all are normal.
In earlier reports you have protein s deficiency and high homocysteine level. Both increase the clotting tendency. You are more prone to blood clotting and intravenous thrombosis then other people. That is the reason for your thrombosis.
You should take vitamin B12 as well as anticoagulant drugs( blood thinner) for long time.
LDH increase in stroke, myocardial infarction, thrombosis, cancer like lymphoma, hemolytic anemia, B12 deficiency anemia and many other disease. There is long list of cause.
It is not a specific marker and it need clinical correlation. You should not worry about cancer. You have history of thrombosis and now history of headache and dizziness so it can be recurrent thrombosis.
LDH will increase in thrombosis. So you should go for MRI and also go for ECG once.
Overall you have clotting tendency and you need life long blood thinner to avoid clotting.
