A member asked:
Tachycardia from seroquel (quetiapine) heart feels like it stops for longer than it should. is this serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: When the heart has a premature beat (which occurs in all adults daily), it pauses to return to its original rhythm. During the pause (measured in milliseconds), it feels more than usual. This produces an especially strong next beat which is often felt by people. The medical term is "post-extrasystolic potentiation". By itself, it's not at all serious. Ps, seroquel (quetiapine) doesn't cause tachycardia.
