Haldol gave me QT prolongation. It was accidently discovered in hospital, nobody ever checked me.

i literally almost died because of forced injection. I told them it causes me heart problems, but they didn’t listen. The truth doesnt exist until theres a study about it i guess. :joy:

That’s horrible. Happened to me the same, with other issues.

Haha…yeah…docs don’t believe patients until there’s a study backing up their claims…and even then they often don’t. :woman_shrugging:

I have a “funny” heartbeat because of my ap probably…it is just weird…on e k g my heart beats the right amount of beats but on the “finger monitor” they give you at the doctor’s office it only gets half the beats of my heart…oh well. I love my ap…and I’m getting on heart meds for the funny beat.

Clozapine gave me this

They gave me tachycardia (clozapine, olanzapine, quietiapine). PACs. And permanent inverted t-waves :rage:
