My first non-normal ECG came back after realizing that my heart rate was 150bpm when I stood up and 100bpm when I sit down. Normal blood pressure which raises concern. Diagnosed with sinus tachycardia. Yay..

So my QT interval is 450ms.

"Normal QTc values. QTc is prolonged if > 440ms in men or > 460ms in women. QTc > 500 is associated with increased risk of torsades de pointes. QTc is abnormally short if < 350ms. A useful rule of thumb is that a normal QT is less than half the preceding RR interval."

"Torsades de pointes or "twisting of the points", is a specific type of abnormal heart rhythm that can lead to sudden cardiac death. It is a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia that exhibits distinct characteristics on the electrocardiogram (ECG). Prolongation of the QT interval can increase a person's risk of developing this abnormal heart rhythm."

Only abnormal thing that I did was switch from Abilify injection to Invega injection with Zyprexa at night instead of Abilify at night.

Invega causes prolongation of the QT interval.

So I'm not taking that damn Invega injection again if I have to prepare for my death and what not.

Stay safe my friends.

I think all antipsychotics have a risk of long qt and the more u are on the higher the risk. Anti depressants also.
