Inferior Q-wave follow up

Q: What sort of other causes would lead to an inferior Q-wave besides the MI? Upon further review of the EKG, the cardiologist does want me to come in for the stress test. Is it really possible for one to have an MI and not know they had one. I have not had any issues with my heart at all …

Aberrant beats

Q: I have recently had a 24 hr ECG which showed frequent aberrant beats, 3 couplets and 4 cycles of trigeminy. I am 26 weeks pregnant. I first noticed an irregular heart beat about 3 weeks ago. Is this anything to worry about? My doctor is sending me for an echocardiogram. Thank you
