I have been having DOE and palps my joints hurt so bad and now im sob with a borderline ekg
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Eye floaters and rt ventricular conduction delay could be associated feature of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
A detailed examination of eye floaters by a slit lamp examination by a opthalmologist and a holter monitoring to ascertain the level of derangement in the heart rhythm due to the conduction delay has to be done.
Both the above conditions since are due to reactive proteins but not due to any organic damage to the structures involved , the risk involved is less.They do not complicate into serious problem.But it is essential for them to be assessed well.
Hope I answered your query.
Please do ask, if any doubts.
Wish you good health.
