I believe it has to do with the electrical system in your heart. Be sure you ask your doc to explain both symptoms and treatment to you. God bless.

Use the credMeds app to check prescriptions --even those prescribed by a well meaning doctor and over the counter medicines. You cannot have other meds that prolong your QT. Many antibiotics are QT extending and drugs like Pepcid are too. Good luck!
