Hello , I beg to state that due to GERD I'm forced to take PPIs for last 2-3 years. Currently I'm taking Pantodec DSR twice daily which provides good symptomatic control for me but recently due to an episode of post excercise syncope ( 1st time experience ) , I was instructed to do an ECG and in that , there was QTc prolongation , though everything was normal other than that. All of my previous ECGs have normal QTc values. I came to know that Domperidone is known to prolonged QTc. I was also taking Statin simultaneously ( 6 months course / Novastat 10 ). One local doctor prescribed me to try Sompraz IT instead and asked me to stop taking Statins as recent Lipid profile showed satisfactory levels. Will Sompraz IT be better for me ? I'm very worried about this QTc thing. No one in my family ever had any Cardiovascular disease , except for hypertension. I've attached my recent ECG test with the question.
