HI Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.
An Abnormality in ECG associated with Chest pain always indicative of Heart problem . But I need one clarification , was the Abnormality in ECG reported by doctor or it's a Machine generated Abnormality. Because machine generated report of ECG is not accurate .
Apart from heart problems abnormal ECG can be see in Electrolyte abnormalities like High/ Low Poatssium , Calcium or Magnesium . Kindly check these levels . Also if you get a chest pain next time get Serum Troponin I levels done . This will tell if your chest pain is due to heart problem or not .
Hope this answers your query. Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask. Happy to help you. Regards.
