Is The Epidural Safe Even If Diagnosed With RBBB?

I am 36 weeks pregnant and I was diagnosed with incomplete RBBB 3 yrs ago and have isolated PVC's as well. they did echo and stress test and my cardiologist cleared me because they were negative. I am experiencing PVC's once in a while esp. when I am tired or stressed. I am worried that when I go on labor and experience pain I'll have more PVC's. I experience them when I'm stressed or in pain. Should an epidural be safe with me even if I have RBBB? should I be worried with labor and my condition? Thanks!
