A member asked:
Blood oxygen is 95-97%, 2 negative d dimers in dec. and a clear chest xray but feel some shortness of breath at times, blood clot in lungs or anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not PE: Shortness of breath without other symptoms or signs is unlikely to be a result of pulmonary embolus. This is particularly true in someone who is only 31 yo. Unless you have other significant risk factors for abnormal blood clotting, i would not believe you are having pes.
