Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my answer.
As you said your ekg, blood work, cxr all came normal so there is no need to worry about. And you haven't got pulmonary embolism just relax your self. Shortness of breath may be due to your anxiety at that time or some other cause as it has got alot of causes. But as your above tests are normal so may you were anxious at that time that's why.
Hope i answered your question. Feel free to ask if you need further assistance. Thanks.
