Hi everyone hope your all keeping well ❤️.Been posting alot at the moment just can't shake that something has changed and Tuesday had an ecg doctor said was normal which is good today had a review of that ecg and they still said yep very good just that the ecg writing that gets printed out on the ecg said there was a prolongation of the QT so they forwarded it to the hospital that I am under care for my condition. Anyone else been told this about there ecg and what did it mean???

Take care and keep safe everyone ☺️

Long QT is being diagnosed a lot more often than it used to be just because we have the technology to see it. I have a dive buddy who has it and has clearly had it all her life and she’s now in her 60s. It was picked up by an anaesthetist on a minor operation. It’s caused no end of problems with dive insurance but as one consultant pointed out, if it was going to kill her it would probably have done it years ago. It turns out that her whole family has the condition with no problems.
