[quote=Anonymous]My child has a cardiac condition that we recently learned about with a prolonged QT interval. It turns out I have it too. This is what the kids who just suddenly "drop dead on a soccer field" often are thought to have. It is congenital for some, but it is also induced by certain medications, and I believe many ADHD meds are on that list. Kids like mine can absolutely NOT take meds that further prolong the QT. If you are on a med and notice increased heart rate like that, do NOT take them. Make sure to get an EKG and have the corrected QT interval checked out by a pediatric electrophysiologist, or at least a cardiologist who knows what they are doing. You don't want to play around with that.[/quote]
