confused with WPW and right bundle block.

Hi all, i'm a little confused. Quick back story.. i went to A+E from a hypertensive spike caused by anxiety (ironically about having my BP taken in the first place). They saw signs of WPW and was diagnosed with WPW Syndrome , despite not having many episodes as such . However, the WPW is clear to see, I can even see it on a watch ECG 24/7.

I had all the usual test, and have just received a follow up letter from the exercise stress test which states 'His ECG at the start was different from his clinic ECG and now shows right bundle branch block'.

I have no idea what to make of this.. does that i mean i don't have WPW and the right block was mimicking WPW ? Does the RBB cause the WPW? Do i have WPW and right bundle block together? Was my hypertension during the stress test throwing things off a little ? I've researched WPW and know about that, but know nothing about RBBB.
