Feeling discomfort and ECG showed RBBB. Any suggestion?
Answered by
Im in pretty good shape with a Vent rate of 55 bpm. I always thought the discomfort I was feeling was due to anxiety but this RBBB could be the culprit. How is this treated?
The discomfort I was referring to includes a constriction in my ears and neck.
Thanks for writing to us.
RBBB may be normal finding in many individuals , and it will not cause any discomfort or other problems. Thus , I need a little more information to be able to help you better:
- Could you describe your discomfort in detail ?
- Is the discomfort related to exertion/activity ?
- Did you undergo any more tests (apart from ECG)?
- Apart from RBBB in ECG, any other positive finding in ECG ?
- Have you undergone a 2D Echo test ?
Please provide me above as many as details as possible so that I can provide you proper guidance .
Regards
THe discomfort is a constriction I feel on the right side of my chest. It does not radiate but sometimes I get the same type of feeling in my neck and ear area.
I do exercise a bit but it is not related at all. I did not get any test but my BP and cholesterol are normal.
Thanks for writing back.
As your BP and cholesterol is normal and from the description of your pain ,I think your pain is not due to heart problem and RBBB in ECG is most probably a normal variant .
I would suggest that you go for 2D Echo and TMT(treadmill test) which will help us know more details about the anatomy and pumping function of heart at rest and exercise response.
For discomfort take some analgesic in consultation with your family physician for few days , as most probably its due to muscle spasm related .
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help ,If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
Wish you good health

MD Hey, I was diagnosed with an eating disorder and the effects were secondary amenorrhea and bradycardia. My resting rate rate then was 45 and they said it could be reversed but I was wondering if it was possible to reverse it in a week? I ve been following their orders of eating more for about 5 days now and my resting heart rate is between 70-80 every time I check it.
MD I had a herpetic whitlow - sp? which caused lymphangitis, or red streaking up my hand and arm - about the same time, my heart started beating irregularly and I went on a 7 day course of Keflex. While on the Keflex, my heart was fine. The minute I went off the Keflex, the palpitations came back. I ve worn a heart monitor and was told that 2% of my heartbeats are extra but what I feel is that there is some sort of infection at play here even though my bloodwork has come back normal. Thoughts?
MD I have recurrent atrial fibrillation status post radio frequency ablation and bilateral thoracotomy this seems to be made wose during high stress job experiences as a nurse anesthetist will I just have continue to work like this or does this condition qualify for disability
MD My name is Jennifer. I am a 41 year old female, 5 9 , 125 LB. Over the past 10 years I have had symptoms of arrhythmias , chest pain, breathing problems (inability to breath deeply), coughing and severe hoarseness usually coinciding with the other problems. It seems to be getting slowly worse as I get older. I sleep sitting up. If I lay down I risk waking up with significant chest pain, choking and arrhythmias. I tried to get a diagnosis in my 30 s but no one found the source of my problem before I lost my insurance and stopped pursuing it. I recently went to a chiropractor and had x-rays taken. There is significant compression and misalignment between C3 and C4. There is also some arthritic changes between these vertebrae. I used to break horses when I was in my early 20 s and at one point directly fell on my head and was knocked out. I assume that is what caused this particular injury. My question is could this injury be causing the arrhythmias, chest pain, breathing problems and hoarseness? I know you can t answer with certainty I am just curious if it is a possibility. Thank you for your time, Jennifer
