The signs are..: ...Sudden shortness of breath and chest pain. However, if this is something that happens to you daily, you have, as your question reveals you already suspect, an anxiety problem, not a pulmonary embolus. There are many ways to lessen anxiety. Good sleep and nutrition, daily exercise, yoga and meditation, and medication.
