A member asked:
When you have long qt syndrome is medication necessary?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Mefication is usually not required but if you have a history of syncope this needs evaluation asap with a cardiologist. Some medications prolong qt and those should possibly be stopped.
