I have been experiencing a lot of chest pain, dizziness, feeling very faint, have frequent near syncope, lots of nausea, profuse sweating when standing and presently very unstable hypertension.
My hypertension is normal when I am sitting, morbidly high when I stand, and low when I am asleep.
Should I be concerned about long QT?
I have had several abnormal EKGs.
I noticed on my EKGs:
QT/QTc: 528/451, 464/467, 488/504, 464/471, 512/480
Stress Test:
Minor nonspecific ST t-wave abnormalities, early precordial R-wave transition, PVCs and mild J point depression noted with ST segments being up-sloping, ST - T waves horizontal or downsloping with maximal sinus
Two Holter Tests:
• Ventricular ectopic beats
• Supraventricular ectopic beats
• Isolated PACs – 4 couplets
• Atrial tachycardia – 1 five beat run
• Supraventricular ectopic beats
• PACs – singles – 3 episodes of couplets
• PVCs – 1 episode of couplets
• Ventricular trigeminy – some brief runs
• Mild horizontal or down-sloping ST segment depression – during maximal sinus rate
Echo: asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy, dilated right ventricle
My daughter is also experiencing chest pain, dizziness, near fainting, palpitations, nausea and mental fogginess.
Thanks for any information that you share.
