I'm a bit worried about my heart health and I recently had an echocardiogram done. I've heard of things like incomplete and complete RBBB, but I'm not sure how I can tell which one I have from the report. Can you help me understand what to look for to figure out if it's incomplete or complete RBBB?

To determine if your right bundle branch block (RBBB) is incomplete or complete, you would need to look at specific criteria on an ECG report. Incomplete RBBB typically shows a QRS duration of 100-120 ms, while complete RBBB shows a QRS duration greater than 120 ms. Additionally, complete RBBB usually has a wide, slurred S wave in leads I, aVL, V5, and V6. On an echocardiogram report, signs of RBBB may include right ventricular hypertrophy, delayed activation of the right ventricle, and abnormal motion of the interventricular septum. However, the definitive diagnosis of RBBB is made through an ECG rather than an echocardiogram. If you suspect RBBB based on your echocardiogram report, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm currently taking 50 mg of metoprolol succinate because I had high blood pressure around a month ago, with readings peaking at 150100. Lately, my 24-hour average blood pressure is about 11070, but every 5 to 6 days it suddenly spikes to 14090. Is this something normal, or should I think about adjusting my dose?
It's good to hear that your average blood pressure has improved with the current medication. Occasional spikes in blood pressure can happen despite treatment. In your case, since the spikes occur every 5 to 6 days, it may be worth discussing with your healthcare provider about potentially increasing the dose of metoprolol succinate to better control these spikes. An adjustment in dosage or adding another medication may be considered to maintain more stable blood pressure levels.

I accidentally took more than one dose of azilide 500 in a day. Is that a problem? What could happen if I take more than I'm supposed to?

I've been smoking for the last 5 years, and lately, Im noticing this weird pain in the center of my chest. It doesn't bother me when I'm just sitting or standing still, but if I stretch my arms or put any pressure on my chest, I get this sharp pinching feeling inside. Even just warming up before a workout or sleeping in one position can trigger it. There's no fatigue, coughing up blood, or anxiety. Do you think it's something serious, or should I just not worry about it too much?
Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.
