Panic attacks - not fun. Do you mean why do you get the panic attacks?

Hi Josh -
I don't know why your ecg finding happens nor what it represents - I'm not a doctor. You'd have to ask your doctor or wait for rlr, and I understand he is busier than usual for a time :)

I have read that healthy people can have this too - so you need all the facts from your doctor. Did your cardiologist or doctor not give you a full explanation? You probably need to ask for a fuller explanation to ensure you have all the facts so as not to worry unnecessarily. Fear never cures palpitations - that's a given.

Good health and best wishes

Right BUNDLE branch block, I think it's called. I have one too, and my doc told me it wouldn't mean anything, and that I would not feel it and that it wasn't dangerous at all.
And I don't think I have felt it :-)

I think the name of the thing is a lot worse than it actually is. "Block" - oof, you feel your heart almost stop, right?
But it doesn't!

I don't know how you GET this RBBB.
