How To Cure RBBB And Heart Palpitations?

I have recently had chest pains and went to the hospital and they admitted me for observation and did ekgs and everything. They found that I have RBBB and Heart palpitation. I was wondering if this were serious and could it be corrected with medication?

Hi,

Right Bundle branch block (RBBB ) may occur in subjects without structural heart disease and is most often benign.
Right bundle branch block also occurs with heart disease, both congenital (e.g., atrial septal defect) and acquired (e.g., valvular, ischemic). As you are symptomatic (chest pain & palpitation), 2D-echocardiography is indicated to determine the cause.
RBBB cannot be corrected with any medication.
Bundle branch blocks, however, may be intermittent. A bundle branch block may be rate-related; for example, it often occurs when the heart rate exceeds some critical value-hence self-limiting.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Tushar Kanti Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
