An abnormality on an EKG one time in the context of a medication overdose is not worrisome, especially as it normalized later. This is an expected consequence of the medication overdose, as were your symptoms.
Is a prolonged QT wave on one EKG significant? (Pill overdose)Could my incident of one abnormal EKG I received as a teenager following pill overdose need to be reported to docs 10+ years later/in the future?Or if since then I have had 2 other EKGs and a 48-hour holter monitor and only found tachycardia, am I clear? The specific abnormality was a "borderline prolonged QT wave, poss / positive for RVH." Context and other lesser abnormalities to follow.I am currently 29F with sinus tachycardia, fibromyalgia, bipolar disorder. I requested hospital records of my pediatric suicide attempt because my parents and current psychiatrist are not sharing consistent information with me about my diagnosis(es) and prior care, and I would like to get more help. I was never told that I had particular diagnostic tests run or that any came back abnormal, and I want to know whether these should be chalked up to error/a fluke/exclusive to that overdose, or whether it's something I should've reported to my doctor when my tachycardia was being investigated or should report in my future medical histories or if I were to have more concerning cardiovascular complications.As a 14-year-old, I attempted suicide by ingesting 50 ibuprofen and an unknown # of Sonata, best estimate ~10 pills. The ibuprofen # could be higher technically, since I was still taking it when I lost memory/began to hallucinate. The tox screen was also positive for caffeine.14 F 110 lbs, 5'3", on 0.5 mg Risperdal, 25 mg Zoloft, unknown if any particular mental disorder diagnosis was made at that time, "asthma," white, no drug/alcohol use.I was taken to a hospital and an EKG, head CT, and labwork were done ~4 hrs after ingestion. I presented with normal exam/vitals/labwork in the first 6 hours except for visual and auditory hallucinations and ataxic gait. After about 4 hours I was transferred to the children's hospital ER. While the initial ER noted no new symptoms and stated my EKG was normal, I did see that shortly before I was transferred my BP went from 115/80 -> 114/55.Cardiac Consult:The children's hospital notes by 2 different care team providers state that my EKG by the outside hospital had a borderline prolonged QT and poss / positive for RVH. They repeated my EKG 7 days later, and the consulting cardiologist said they were happy to report this present EKG came back completely normal. He did state that I was "admitted to [the] eating disorder program," so I hope misunderstanding why the EKG was being performed wouldn't affect his conclusion? He also offered to do an exercise treadmill test if they desired. Another note by a care team provider said they recommended I do an outpatient stress test after discharge, but I don't believe my parents ever had it done.Other noted abnormalities post-ER EKG after I was transferred to children's:1/6 systolic murmur, diastolic BP was hypotensive for 12 hrs (98/38, 101/35, 94/45, for example), bpm was 70 - 130, 2+ pulses on extremities, somnolence - at one point only arousable with painful stimuli and then immediately falling back to sleep - and a lot of vomiting later on. Seems like I went back to baseline by about 18 hrs post-ingestion.I think my parents and doctors were so worried about my mental state that they didn't even touch on the physical symptoms. Do I need to consider them at all? Or is it fair to assume that the EKG was a result of the overdose or emergency situation, but that it wouldn't have any long-term ramifications?Throwaway due to sensitive details.
