Prozac (fluoxetine) can potentially cause changes in the ECG, although these effects are generally rare. Some studies suggest that it may lead to QT interval prolongation, which can increase the risk of arrhythmias. However, these effects are more commonly associated with higher doses or in patients with pre-existing heart conditions. It's essential for patients to discuss any cardiovascular concerns with their healthcare provider when taking Prozac.

Why does Prozac cause abnormal dreams?

No it doesn't. See Prozac actually causes insomnia which is one amongst its many side effects, so if you have trouble sleeping chances of dreaming are rare to none, what it does though is cause hallucinations and this happen when you are awake.


An ECG provides imformation about what?

An ECG provides information about the wearer of the ECG's heartrate and rhythm of the heart. It provides information about wether it is normal or abnormal.


How can you have a normal ECG and then an abnormal ECG in an hour?

A normal ECG can turn abnormal within an hour due to various factors, including the onset of acute cardiac events such as a myocardial infarction (heart attack) or arrhythmias. Changes in the heart's electrical activity can also result from factors like electrolyte imbalances, increased stress, or medication effects. Additionally, transient conditions like ischemia can lead to temporary changes that may not have been present during the initial ECG. Thus, dynamic changes in heart function can cause rapid shifts in ECG readings.


What is abnormal ecg?

Why abnormalities of the heart is better detected by ausculation rather than electrocardiography?

with electrocardiography and auscultation different abnormalities can be detected. For example, ecg can show abnormal rythms (due to the damage to the conductive tissue or high level of potassium). But cardiac mummurs can only be heard (they're because of valvular problems)
