If "Clinically silent" is jargon for "no symptoms at all", sure.

But if it gets the point of even minor persistent chest pain or one is aware that something is not right, it's time for the emergency room.

Chest pain is not to be trifled with. One clot may be followed by others which might be serious or fatal in a very short time.

PE is common enough among people that sit for a living (most of HN), that I think it's important for folks to be aware of them and that they're dangerous.

I've had mild chest pain for years. I'm not going to live in the ER.
