I have had a RBBB for the last 8-10 years My last ECG pointed out normal sinus rhythm and left axis deviation with RBBB.

I have not the feintest idea.

Having looked up RBBB (and for anyone else trying to follow, I think it stands for "right bundle branch block"), I am very little wiser.

I suspect you would get a better response on a heart-related forum.

All the best

Hi Regarding the ECG. it really rarely shows anything ,even imminent cardiac arrests. The better test Is a 24 hour or better 7 day home monitor, lots of tiny ECG`s.You may also benefit from an echo.if symptoms of cardiac problems.RBBB is not normally signficant in itself but you can go on to develope cardiac problems. If then it is very importent to have the electrolyte blood tests doneThese are mainly U`s and E`s, the Potassium and sodium. Calcium ( the corrected calcium ) and magnesium. For everyone these must always be in range.It is not safe to take any of these or vit D ( effects calcium) without regular blood tests. My problems are much more serious but I have to have these tested weekly and often daily. You are fine at the moment but it does need watching and a home moinitor advisable now any way.

Best wishes,
