Are Stents Needed For Right Bundle Branch Block?

I recently had a routine visit with the VA clinc. The EKG stated Right bundl branch block. All of my blood work came back normal, including chlosterol (169), trigliserites are normal and my BP was 110/70. My pulse rate averages 108. 41 years old Male 5 10 245lbs Family history of heart disease I do not feel bad except the occasional dizzy feel which she thinks it could be the sinus infection that I have right now. The DR scheduled me for a echo cardio gram. Does this mean I have to get stints. I am really nervous and now I am having a hard time sleeping because I am nervous.

Hello,

Sometimes there are abnormalities found on ECG that are not dangerous and there are no health issues behind them. The same is in your case; the ECG showed some abnormalities which weren't confirmed with stress echo, which means there nothing to worry, as stress echo is a more powerful type of exam and is more reliable. So don't worry, just follow a healthy lifestyle and see your doctor in two years.

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

Regards,
