What Causes PVC In Heart Post Steroid Injection In The Facet Joint?
Hello I had a steroid injection in my facet joint in my neck Monday morning and in the way home I could feel my heart throwing PVC s several in a minute all day. Then the next 3 days I had 1 every 2 to 3 minutes. Is this normal and would the steroid shot have caused that? I know they were pvcs because I had an episode one day and night last summer and o know what they feel like. Thank you
