In reply to Seroquel, cardiac wierdness anyone?, posted by linkadge on March 15, 2007, at 19:58:18

If that's the case, there can be momentary palpitations and other oddities upon sleep as it does cause low blood pressure and lay and rise heart aberrations. Unless you're taking a significant dose I wouldn't think the QTc part would even come into factor.
