"One in ten people discover that they have long QT syndrome after they suffer a cardiac arrest and die."

 

Hmm.... okay. I guess death is no longer the impediment it used to be.

@yourautisticlife ooh are you the first other autistic person I have found with #LongQtSyndrome? Are were you merely talking about Long Qt Syndrome but don't have it?

@niamhgarvey

I don't have it. I know roughly what it is because I researched it a while back... I don't remember the exact circumstances, but I'm a medical unicorn, and maybe I had symptoms that correlated with it.

They did look for arrhythmia as a possible explanation of the symptoms I had, but no, it was cancer.

In this specific case, I was just commenting on the nonsensical idea that people would discover their Long Qt Syndrome after they are dead.

@yourautisticlife ah I see. Yeah it's one of those conditions people often discover they have when a family member dies suddenly (which is what happened me).
