lbbb symptoms

[Chrystalpaws]

I have just been diagnosed with lbbb. Can you live symptom free or will I need medication to keep at bay. Having stress mri etc. so have no further info yet.

Are you having symptoms? If LBBB is an incidental finding with no symptoms and your stress MRI is normal, there is nothing to treat.

Have 45 percent heart output and breathless with excercise . But will have more answers tomorrow . Thanks so much for replying .

It is my understanding that if it isnt causing any problems with your heart its not a problem, but my LBBB started when my heart became weak and I needed a CRT-D to fix it so my heart could beat insync. I no longer have LBBB since my heart has become stronger and have since had one of my wires turned off that had moved to make my battery last longer. Hope that this helps and you get a good report from your MRI. Take care.

Thank you so much for your reply. My heart is function is 45 percent. However mri will give me further info. Delighted to hear your lbbb non existent now 💓

My LBBB was discovered in a pre op assement before an unrelated op. I was referred to a cardiologist who basically said we know something's wrong, but not sure what, and sent me for a CT and an MRI scan, and they worked out the actual problem from those scans. So I'd see what comes out of that.

Can’t get my head around it. I’m fit and healthy etc. but clearly something amiss . Hope all good and positive for you.

Results day tomorrow for me .

Everything crossed 🙏 thanks for replying. 😊

I too have lbbb and am waiting to see a cardiologist. Would love to know how you got on at your appointment, but only if you want to say. Hope it was good news, or able to feel happy living with it.

Actually came away very relieved. Heart function has gone up(recovered/ing from something). No meds needed currently for lbbb. Have to rule something else out, but will cross that bridge when I need too.

Good luck with yours . I hope the outcome / prognosis is good 👍

Thank you so much for replying to me. At the moment I have been told that a cardiologist will review the doctor’s report by the end of March. I am having a lot of missing beats during the day, but it seems to settle down during the evening and at night. I don’t know whether that is good news or not. I have been reading about lbbb, which has rather worried me, and know I shouldn’t have…. Having said that I am 84, but very active all day - walking, housework, gardening and looking after an allotment. However thank you so much, and I am so pleased for your news - such a relief for you!
