In regards to long QT syndrome. I've freaked myself out over it and ended up 'googling' it. It doesn't help that I was on Citalopram last year and I read that can cause it (albeit at higher Than the mg I was on).
I'm so annoyed as I'm obsessed with my heart.

The daily mail are notorious for scare mongering (if that's a term!) they like nothing more than to shock. Take anything they say with a grain of salt xx

I agree with wnsos, don't rely on anything you read in this newspaper.

Hideous newspaper, with POOR journalism. Please ignore it all, they get facts wrong a lot of the time and like to dramatise everything. Xx

Thanks guys, I've just read it again whyyyyyyy!
I had an ECG in March 2013 so I know I don't have the hereditary one, I'm just so scared in case I have medication induced one :-(
Although I'm currently med free now and have been for 20 weeks.

The daily mail is great if you like the following:

Gossip about "celebrities" you've never heard of (which is usually made up).
Bigoted, racist political opinions from a pseudo unbiased strandpoint.
Simply incorrect economic analysis to justify the above.
Sensationalised articles about rare diseases.
Scaremongering. About anything they can think up.
More racism.

Personally I will not open a link on the internet with their domain on it, and I certainly wouldn't ever contemplate buying the paper. Take everything in it with a pinch of salt. In fact take the fact you've read that in the Daily Fail as positive: the report's almost certainly wrong. :)
