breathing issues and anxiety

Last week I was having unexplained chest discomfort so I went to Dr.   Explained what it felt like.  He then gave me a ekg and said it looked normal.  Today, I've been having shortness of breath but no other symptoms.  I am a smoker and earlier in day I was very anxious and pacing a lot.  However at times of breathing issues I wasn't.  Since heart issue was ruled out by ekg, could it have been anxiety from earlier in the day?
