From someone who has had many pulmonary embolisms (I have a clotting disorder so get clots in lungs more often than I’d like) chest X-rays are not the way to see if you have one. You need a ct scan preferably with contrast. X-rays are pretty useless. They didn’t pick any of mine up. They might pick some up but most I think they don’t.
