Hi-
My family has a history of Prolonged QT Syndrome, and I have a personal history of palpitations, dizziness, and chest discomfort (sometimes pain) since I was a teenager. I am 32.
I have also been to a number of cardiologists over the years, who have given me stress tests, echos, halters, and recently I had a Myoview stress test. All have been normal, though I was once told that my QT interval was slightly out of range but not yet considered long. I'm currently on an event monitor, which has caught an example of ventricular fibrillation so far. While I've recorded minor symptoms on the monitor, I have yet to catch one of the very big examples of palpitations that I have periodically, so my doctor has agreed to continue the event monitor until we see one.
My question is this: have Prolonged QT problems ever been known in someone whose symptoms do not seem to occur with adrenaline? Mine tend to occur during rest. Would you say that the next step is Electrophysiology Testing, or is there some alternative you'd suggest?
Thank you,
Kathy
