Suggest Treatment For Shortness Of Breath With LBBB

My name is Jose Fernandez 29 years old, Since 2008 I was diagnosed with Left Ventricular Arrhythmia because I went to live to a High Altitude City ( Bogota,Colombia) and doctors never said to me I can t live there. So I came back to my city and my final test results were , *Left Ventricular Arrhythmia , bundle branch block Right , and * T (-) Coronary artery aspect.Hemoglobin 18.3gm/DL. Since 2009, My Test results are still the same, but with some changes, *Max Beats per minute - 95bpm, Minimum Bpm - 40bpm. I am experiencing Bradycardia since that time, and this is causing me short breathing , trouble to concentrate, I can t walk like more than 200 meters or go outside and make relationships with people (social life ). My cardiologist says that is just normal and that he can not do anything about it because the cause of this bradycardia is Metoprolol. I am looking for other professional help and opinion because I am a bit not sure about what my cardiologists says to me, because since 2008 they are telling me I have nothing to worry about... Please I will appreciate your help, Thank you.

hi
BUNDLE BRANCH BLOCKS have alternating tachycardia & bradycardia in different conditions
betablockers have chance for causing relative bradycardia
this condition has decreased effort tolerance
please visit the cardiologist to go ahead with a 2d-echocardiogram, to know the left ventricular ejection fraction
in your case second opinion may not be of more help, when the cause is clear
take care
