Anyone else pregnant with Long QT Syndrome?

Can't get hold of my GP or Cardiologist until tomorrow morning, as obviously, neither are open on a Sunday!
I'm almost 7 weeks, and I think HG has come back to bite me as it did with my son!
This morning, I took my Beta Blocker as normal and within 15 minutes, I was being horrendously sick. The packet doesn't say much apart from the normal if you miss a dose, leave it until the next one, but as I most likely threw it up, or possibly could have, should I have taken another one?
Not sure if anyone has been in a similar boat to me before?

I can't help with that specific medication but I know that some medicines are absorbed quite quickly and so it may be wrong to assume that it all came back up if you were sick within 15 minutes. Could you perhaps phone 111 and ask for a callback from a Dr for advice?

I'm not sure but I personally would contact GP as throwing up will presumably be potentially lowering your potassium levels and thus making long QT worse so if there's a risk your tablets aren't being absorbed you shouldn't take any chances x

I'd contact out of hours for advice.

Thanks everyone, I'm waiting for a call back from my GP, wondering if that's why I've been feeling so weak, didn't take into account the potassium levels!
