freaking out a bit, since i woke up today i’ve felt chest pains that have been coming and going and changing location, they aren’t severe but they are still there, i stayed in bed cos i was just feeling down but now that i’m up i’m getting pain with every breath i take, not even deep ones, which briefly happened earlier in the day, just normal inhalation’s, i know pe’s are usually severely painful but could this not be it starting off?

Since a pulmonary embolism is a clot, it wouldn't come and go nor would it change locations.

thank you, i know it’s probably just anxiety but can anxiety cause pain that specifically comes when breathing?
