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've recently had a CT angiogram done and I'm a bit worried. Are there any side effects I should be aware of related to the heart? Could you provide some guidance on what to expect afterward? I'm open to any advice you might have.
CT angiograms are generally safe procedures with minimal side effects. However, some potential side effects may include allergic reactions to the contrast dye used, kidney problems in patients with pre-existing kidney issues, and radiation exposure. It is important to stay hydrated after the procedure to help flush the contrast dye out of your system. If you experience any unusual symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, or severe allergic reactions, please seek medical attention immediately.

I've been feeling this needle-like pain in my left chest that started a couple of nights ago while I was asleep and it lasted about 10 minutes. Afterward, I started getting these intermittent pin-pricking pains on both sides of my chest. Now I'm even feeling some discomfort in my back and mild pains in my left shoulder and arms, which sometimes shift to the right side. Im already dealing with a breathing problem and recently noticed some chest tightness. I dont feel tired or dizzy, but I do have a stomach ulcer. I'm really worried this could be some kind of heart attack or angina. What should I do?
Neurologist opinion.
