Hello Lee,
Breathing has been the focus of my anxiety for some time now. Its astounding how Ill we can make ourselves feel. I told myself I needed an xray to the point of sheer panic. I went to hospital and the did the x-ray, nothing wrong at all.
if you're really worried but (like me) are scared of going to hospital call NHS 111 they're really polite and have calmed me down on occasion. They can have you in if they feel they need to or they can give you some advice.
Also, listening to the chest tells a doctor a lot. Your blood saturation being normal is great.
Relax buddy and take it easy, feel well soon!

Lee, it is important to note to these people trying to give you advice, that you ran 3 miles the other day without incident. Lets not turn this into a hours long Q & A without telling them all the details. These people are here by choice trying to help others with real world advice. You ran 3 miles and thats a lot more than most of us can run, so you are doing pretty well with your breathing if you can accomplish a 3 mile run. if your chest still hurts and your lungs are clear, consider seeing a pulmonologist or your own GP to see what they can do for you. Good luck

ive been going through the same exact thing for about 8 weeks now. chest pains and feel like i cant get a satisfying breath and the tickle in my throat that sometimes causes me to cause. ive seen 5 doctors which all have said its post nasal drip and anxiety. i have had chest pains and the breathing issues from anxiety before but never for this long but given the current circumstances ive been anxious non stop so that may be why the symptoms dont go away. im not a doctor but after seeing 5 doctors and a cardiologist im almost sure what you are experiencing is anxiety
