What Are The Symptoms Of Bundle Branch Blockage?

Hi! I have what they call a bundle branch blockage and the doctors told me not to worry about it. But I can't help but think about that there might be more to it. I shows up every time I have an EKG. And sadly I am a smoker also. What are your thoughts?

Hi,welcome to HCM.
Bundle ranch blocks are quite common in the smoking population.They usually present with heart rhythm disturbances like bradycardia.I advice you to have a baseline EKG and 24hr Holter ecg to exactly document the rhythm disturbances if any.Electrophysiological studies with possible radiofrequency ablation can offer permanent cure.Consult your cardiologist for further queries.
Thank you
