Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I would explain that her symptoms could be related to cardiac arrhythmia.

For this reason, I would recommend performing a resting ECG and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, blood electrolytes, thyroid hormone levels).

Deanxit can lead to QT prolongation and thus increase the risk for cardiac arrhythmia. Reducing its dose may be needed if all the above tests result normal.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
