Hi @heathert -- what meds are you on now?
I hope the long QT settles for you (and me). 493 is getting up there a bit. I hope it goes down for you soon. I had a halter for 24 hours too -- what fun.... not.
My GP (main doctor) does the ECG for me every 2 weeks while I'm back on the big 3, at a lower dose than before.
(Do you call them GPs in NZ?)
Maybe you could get your ECG done at a GP once a month to keep an eye on things?
The Cardiologist put me on a low dose of potassium slow release tablets to reduce the chances of potassium going down again -- so that's a help.
You've got a new ID picture I think -- is your hair lighter now? (You look great, dammit!). I refuse to use a photo until I look better, laugh.

@anniepie I am on azithromycin, rifampicin and ethambutol again. I will do the monthly ECG like you say and also eat more potassium, great ideas, I have bought some bananas, I dont think I have much potassium either. yes my hair is a bit lighter. Looking forward to seeing your new profile pic! Take care Heather
