Could High Blood Pressure Be The Cause Of The ECG Readings?
Hi, I am 31 male. My last ECG indicated RBBB incomplete and right axis deviation. Also, in the last half a year I had a feeling of heavy head/eyes and fairly high blood pressure (140/90 on average). I tend to play lots of sports, but still smoke (although down to 3 cigarettes/day). Could high blood pressure be the cause of the ECG readings?

No , high blood pressure will not result into incomplete RBBB .
Imcomplete Rbbb Is a physiological variant , and by all means it can be present in normal individuals , so don't be worried about the same .
RIght bundle branch block (rbbb)as the name suggest corresponds to the right side of the heart ,
Why I all telling you this ? Right side of heart pumps impure blood to lungs for oxygenation, so any problem in the lungs because of your smoking can cause a problem to the right heart in very long run , hence better to quit it when you are young .
Smoking can result in higher blood pressure as nicotine is a stimulant .
Hoping I could help .
