I guess that it's just one of the very very rare side effects of Prozac and other SSRIs is that they can cause heart irregularities. They can prolong the QT interval on the EKG and potentially mimic the heart rhythms that are normally only seen in patients with heart disease. So they're hoping that stopping that fixes it. I don't know a ton more details, but they told me not to take any SSRIs or SNRIs because they all have this small small chance.
