CTscan req to R/O PE: Prolonged QT not trivial, important to have Card consult to discuss meds that are not compatible! PE has to com from somewhere & blood tests can also suggest. Is one of your legs swollen? PE can come from thigh vein. You say C-section, when? The fetus does put pressure on pelvic veins, and the pelvis is a common place for PE in women. A cardiologist can also help with chest pain diagnosis.
