Heart issue w/ Lyme - Left Branch Block

I believe I had this diagnosed but I lost the paper.

It started at the same time as my Lyme started.

I did the EKG + cardiogram too. This was several years ago.

It stayed the same in terms of how I experience it, but I haven't gone to any follow up appointments so I might as well drop dead one of these days.

The palpitations, you get used to them. They don't get worse. Maybe with stress.

If you have the money and care about it you should stay on top of it with your doctors.

They wanted to put me on a treadmill to do more testing, but I never went because I got sick and tired of doctors, finances, and generally just stopped caring.

2 months later I found out I had been living with Lyme disease for at least 3-4 years.

Maybe one day I'll go back to see where we stand.

Lymeassasin - I have had that before. It was happening much more and is now rare. I had heart surgery in 2016 to replace an aortic valve. IT IS IMPORTANT YOU KNOW THE SURGERY WAS NOT CAUSED BY LYME. Didn't want to scare you with that. I was born with a bicusped valve and knew for years surgery would happne one day. Just a coincidence.

I'm not sure if Lyme gets in the heart to cause it, and not even sure why it is better now as I still have a lot of Lyme symptoms. But my thought is if we just let Lyme go, there is no doubt things won't get better if you have verified Lyme Disease. Hope you can get it all looked into.

And I understand Rainycloud not wanting to see doctors. I've been there and am always close to being there each day. Some days we just don't have it in us to take any more of it. Seems there is not choice, so I keep trying,even when depressed.

I am going for an echo this month. I've had heart problems ever since I got sick, although I haven't been able to prove it thus far with testing. My heart constantly hurts. My hands, feet and tongue are always bright red with blood. I'm hoping this echo shows some abnormality, but I'm not holding my breath.

I had all these same tests, twice. When I was really ill, and then when lyme was getting better. And the block improved to the "no big deal" category.

The block can also be a matter of opinion in minor cases.

I cant remember the last time I had heart palps.
