Right Bundle Branch Block question

Hello All, I just joined the HealingWell.com forum today. I have a question about Right Bundle Branch Block.

12 years ago I was diagnosed with RBBB but at 44 at the time my doctor basically said that it was no problem

and just to keep an eye out every so often which never happened until earlier this year when I mentioned this

to my new GP of 2 years. The new ECG of course confirmed that I have RBBB and nothing else was discussed.


Ocassionally I have weird sensations in my chest like fluttering and falling of my heart into itself but the

General Pract has pushed the anxiety theory which I do not believe. I have never been referred to a Cardio

or have I been given any advise. I imagine that I am quite ok but because I have so many other problems I

don't want something important to be missed. I am 56, I am now overweight, I have fibromyalgia, chronic

fatigue, wide-spread osteo-arthritis, coelic disease, asthma, eczema and hives and of course depression. I

was well 6 years ago rarely seeing any doctors but things have changed. Anyway, Is it wise to insist on

seeing a specialist or just leave it? When does RBBB become a danger if ever? Thanks for any advice you

may be able to give me.

I got a very good response to the same issue, I think. Look at the post "abnormal EKG -bundle branch issue" I'm 57 and 100# overweight and fighting to loose 80-100#(also unmedicated diagnosed type 2, compulsive over-eater, currently fighting to maintain tight blood sugar control) , but this isn't so easy, and fear of heart damage from dieting seems to be a wide spead fear from many doctors and patients perspective. I was considering aspirin therapy, though the cardiologist didn't suggest this. I'm aware that aspirin therapy also has obvious platelet function issues(clotting) , so another paradox to deal with. Every treatment seems to create a new problem. I would like to follow a nutrition and exercise therapy, but this also seems very individually experimental.
