Left Bundle Branch Block

Posted By Bren on June 15, 1998 at 13:24:40:







After an abnormal EKG which was preceded by chest pressure and shortness of breath
upon exercise, being extremely tired, and having heart palpitations
, I have undergone a stress test
using Persantine which indicated a perfusion defect of the left
ventricle.  I then was referred to a cardiologist and underwent
two echocardiograms and a cardiac catheterization, which showed no
blockages.  I am a pre-menopausal woman.  I have been diagnosed with
left bundle branch block and was told that this can mimic a heart attack
and cause all of the symptoms listed above.  I have been cleared to
return to work.  Is this an accurate description of what can happen to
someone with bundle branch block?  Can I always expect to be overtired
and have these symptoms?
Thank you in advance
