hello
thanks for posting here. RBBB does not need any treatment. only newly occurring RBBB neds evaluation. I guess you have got RBBB from long back. your symptoms are very typical for effort angina. therefore you must go ahead with an angiography. i agree that your TMT is negative, but TMT head a sensitivity of 70% i.e. it will diagnose only 70 out of 100 positive cases. so please go ahead with s cautionary angiography.
thank you
