How Can Heart Palpitations With Elevated CPK Be Treated?
I was in th ER last week because it felt as though my heart was jumping out of my chest and I was SOB. CPK was elevated in the ER also. They released me...should they have done more testing? Is there a way to tell where the damage happened...what part of the body...such as heart?

Hi,
I understand your concern and would explain that increased CPK levels are usually related to the muscles. Did you feel muscle cramps? I recommend having some rest and checking again CPK levels after a week.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka,
