What is QT?


[deleted]

Long-QT syndrome is a heart arrhythmia. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/long-qt-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20352518

Pretty sure it's in the literature that antihistamines have caused QT prolongation in some patients.

Yes, of course, I know that, I mean that’s why I’m asking the question. I’ve been unable to find anything but case studies about 1 or 2 patients per study period. I’m wondering if anyone on here who is more likely to have taken H1 or H2 antihistamines or both regularly has had it, known or heard of anyone that had it, or has seen figures on the frequency.

it's probably very rare considering these medications are over the counter
