Safe Medication

Is there a medication safe for treating nausea in patients with Long QT Syndrome?  I'm currently taking Zofran despite the warnings, but taking an extra beta blocker with each dose.  Is there something safer I can be taking to treat my nausea?  Every nausea medication I look at seems to have a "prolonged QT" warning.  I'd appreciate any insight.

Thank you for your response.  Yes, my doctor does know about the extra beta blockers.  I'm happy you've been spared nausea symptoms.  That's always good!  :)

If anyone else knows of a safer medication, I would be grateful.

I hope you are taking Zofan with the knowledge of your beta blocker prescribing doctor.  Taking an "extra beta blocker" seems to be questionable to me, unless so prescribed by an MD.

Sorry I can't help on a "safe" alternative, nausea is one symptom I've been spared, and I"m thankful for that.
