My heart rate is going crazy a few times a day. I suffer from terrible anxiety so have figured that's whats doing it. But I just remembered about a side effect of Quetiapine, something about a Qt wave elongational or something like that.

Does anyone know anything about it? What should I do?

Prolonged QT rhythm is an irregularity in the resting part of the heartbeat. It can lead to arrhythmia. If you suspect that's what's happening you can have an EKG done. It'll show up there.

Most people are not susceptible to this, but I've had it quite a few times with anti-psychotics.
