I recently got an ECG done that showed IRBBB, and after that, I had an echocardiogram and TMT, which both turned out normal. Should I be doing these tests every year? And do you know why the IRBBB showed up in my ECG? Is there any treatment I should consider for this?

Intermittent Right Bundle Branch Block (IRBBB) is a common finding in electrocardiograms and is usually considered a benign condition, especially if other cardiac tests such as echocardiogram (echo) and exercise stress test (TMT) are normal. It is not typically associated with any symptoms or specific treatment. In your case, since your echo and TMT results were normal, there may not be a need to repeat these tests every year unless your doctor specifically recommends it based on your overall health condition. IRBBB can sometimes be a normal variant or can be associated with underlying heart conditions, so it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. If you do not have any symptoms and your other cardiac tests are normal, no specific treatment may be necessary for IRBBB. However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, balanced diet, and avoidance of smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to promote overall heart health.

View allI've been diagnosed with triple vessel disease, and they recommended angioplasty. I'm really hoping for a less invasive approach, like EECP or chelation therapy, but I can't find any doctors willing to even discuss these alternatives. I'm feeling a bit stuck and just wondering what other options might be out there for me. Would love any advice or insights on possible treatments besides surgery.

I've been seeing several cardiologists and had a bunch of echoes and TMTs, but I'm still feeling really rough. I used to get panic attacks but haven't had one in about a year. These last 3 days, I've felt off and noticed my blood pressure is on the rise, getting up to like 140104 or 13495. I saw a cardiologist who is a DM, and he said the ECG was normal but the echo showed mild TR, RSVP 45mmHg, and mild PAH. He prescribed me Dilzem 90. This morning I woke up and my heart rate was 111, and honestly, I felt like I was gonna collapse. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. Given your history and current symptoms, it's understandable to be concerned. While your ECG and echo results show mild issues like mild tricuspid regurgitation and mild pulmonary hypertension, the elevated heart rate and BP need close monitoring. It's essential to follow up with your cardiologist and maybe explore further tests or adjustments to your treatment. Anxiety can also play a big role, so managing stress alongside medication might help stabilize things. Stay in touch with your doctor for tailored advice and reassurance.

I'm really worried about my mom. Her heart starts beating really fast at night and I'm not sure what to do. It's kind of freaking me out. Can you help?
Palpitations can be caused by various factors. In this case, it is important to first consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. However, to help alleviate the symptoms, you can consider giving your mother a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for palpitations is around 25-50mg once or twice daily, as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Additionally, it is important to ensure your mother is staying hydrated, managing stress levels, and getting adequate rest.
