I'm curious about how risky it is to take a small amount of MDMA if I have right bundle branch block. I've used MDMA a lot before but just learned about my RBBB. Can you give me some advice on that?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) typically indicates a delay in the electrical conduction system of the heart but may not cause symptoms or require treatment in many cases. However, using substances like MDMA can pose significant cardiovascular risks, including increased heart rate, blood pressure, and potential arrhythmias, which can be particularly concerning for individuals with underlying heart conditions like RBBB. Combining MDMA with RBBB could exacerbate the risk of serious heart-related complications. It is crucial to discuss this with your healthcare provider to understand the specific risks based on your individual health status.

View allI'm 16 and recently had an electrocardiograph that showed I have incomplete RBBB. The doctors mentioned it might be related to my tonsils because they get inflamed a few times a year, and they're suggesting I get them removed. I tried finding more info about this link between tonsils and RBBB but didn't come across anything helpful. Could you explain how they're connected or if you've seen anything like this before?

I just got my results from a full body check-up, and it turns out my high sensitivity C-reactive protein (HSCRP) level is at 20 mgL. Is this something I should be worried about? Do I need to be on any medication? Would love your thoughts on this.
based on your high sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS-CRP) level of >20 mgL, it indicates inflammation in your body. To lower your HS-CRP level and reduce inflammation, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management can also help in reducing inflammation. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring your HS-CRP levels.
