Hi doctor, I am a 35 year old male, and I am currently on Methadone for chronic pain. I currently have PVC, and my last EKG showed a long QT (over 500 ms). The doctor recommended that I take Magnesium and Potassium supplements as he believes that Methadone may be reducing my magnesium and potassium levels. It has been a week now since I have been following the regime and currently the PVC is nearly gone. I do not have the option of reducing the Methadone due to my injury. The doctor said he wanted me to get an opinion from a cardiologist if I may need a beta blocker or not. He wants to wait to see how the supplementation works out first. Is there any advice you can give me? I get an EKG done twice a year.
