Are ventricular eptopics related with back and chest pain?
Patient: I had an upper back injury with pain that radiated around the chest on the left and then later it moved to radiate around to the right. Although this pain has gone i still have deep aches in the area of injury, and then developed left ventricular eptopics are they related? Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Your pain at injury site is mostly related to nerve damage at injury site. This can not cause ventricular ectopics. So you should consult cardiologist and get done ecg, 2d echo, stress test and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg) to identify the cause of ventricular ectopics. These investigations will also guide about treatment of ectopics. So consult cardiologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
