Will The Chest Pain Be Due To Right Bundle Branch Block?
Hi. My 16 year old son went into the doctor to get a school sports physical. For the past couple months, after ski trip, he complained about his chest hurting during physical activity. At that time, the doctors tested him and said it was pleurisy. Today, the doctor said he had an abnormal EKG and said he had Right Bundle Branch Block. This scared my son and I a lot because it involves his heart. He is very healthy and we were shocked to hear this. There is no heart conditions with any family members. Is there anything you could tell us about it? I am calling childrens hospital tomorrow to meet with a cardiologist. Also scheduling an echocardiogram and Stress Test.
