I have a slight pain left shoulder blade in occasion when taking a deep breathe. this is making me feel anxious as have a history of a pe albeit this is a different pain to what i suffered in the past. anything else it could be. do not feel unwell?

This could be a strained/pulled muscle…and being anxious can make it feel worse. As you are feeling well and if you have no difficulty breathing, it is unlikely to be a PE or anything else serious. However, with your history, I would recommend you call your doctor to be seen. If you start having shortness of breath, get seen urgently.
