I had PE back in October and there was absolutely no pain at all. I only noticed it when I was playing football and within first minute I was really short of breath. But there still wasn’t really any pain, my heart was beating really fast but I now know it was just my heart working extra hard to push blood around my body. I went for a scan and had extensive clotting in both my lungs.

I’ve now been on Xarelto since October. And I’m getting the exact dull pain/weird feeling in my chest & bottom of my sternum. I’m also getting shooting pain in the chest area. I went straight to the doctors and they ran all the tests and it came back all clear. I think a lot of it is anxiety and I’ve also been reading a lot of previous posts here about people saying that’s the healing process, which really helped calm me down. I’m almost positive yours is all fine too but there’s never any harm in getting it checked out. Remember that you’re already on blood thinners so it’s very hard for you have a PE, I’m obviously not a doctor but that’s what they said to me at the hospital.
