How common is Long QT Syndrome and heart arrhythmia problems in a 15 yr old female?

• I have heart problem and had to have sugury at 15 and now i have anxiety attacks and severe Anxiety Disorder i am on Effexor 150 mg for the anxiety disorder and the Dr has tried 5 different migraine meds im currently on 1 of them right now but i cant tell that it has done anything yet so so far nothing has helped them and now they think it might be from my pupils not contracting right and i am on Zertec or how ever you spell that lol for terrible allergies too and i am on birth control (not b/c im a havin sex or nothing) for ungodly periods and cramps they last 7-8 days heavy flow the whole time so i was just wanting to know how common is it for a 15 year old female to have this many problems???

• Answer:

  While I'm not sure how common it really is, I have heard that this can be genetic. Do either of your parents suffer from the same long QT Syndrome? I have an associate of mine who's wife, and 15 year old daughter both suffer this same condition, they have both had to have a surgery to implant a pace maker. You'll recover the surgery fairly quickly, and I know that the scar can be made almost completely unnoticeable. Good luck!
