Just had my EKG done again. While I'm not in the danger zone, my pdoc will probably think it's still too high and fiddle with my meds again.

Does anybody else get this?

I really would like to find an AP that wouldn't mess my heart! Ugh!

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as wiretwister. I believe I should have an EKG, but I'd probably have to fight it out with my doctor.

I struggle with this too. I already have a longer QTc, even without being on meds. It's typically under 500, but it's higher than my doctors would like. So adding in meds is a mess. I end up getting EKGs so much more often. Blah. I'm sorry that you have to deal with all of this.

I had an abnormal ekg from trazadone. Of course was taken off that. Ekg returned to normal. After a month I think of taking seroquel was having some chest pains so I asked for another ekg but that one did come back normal. Dr said if I still continued having pains they would do a stress test but I didn't want one and the pains have disappeared too. I had no symptoms with the trazadone but the pdoc wanted to check an ekg anyway and I am glad it was done.
