Heart Block First and Mobitz 1 heart block
by rasticle, Aug 21, 2007 11:52PM
Hi,
I recently had to do a holter monitor, because I complained to the doc about heart palpitations. On an incidental finding at night I am getting First degree and Mobitz 1 heart block. Also I'm getting bradycardia. My bpm at one point went as low as 32 bpm. I have been to a cardiologist and I have had an echocardiogram, EKG, blood work, 30 day event monitor. The cariologist didn't seem worried about this. He said that bradycardia, although a somewhat low number, is normal in a healthy young adult, during sleep. I'm 27/M. He also mentioned that Mobitz 1 heart block is benign, but sometimes it can turn into Mobitz 2 heart block, although this is uncommon. I'm still kinda worried about it becuase I can feel skippeed beats sometimes and it feels really weird and uncomfortable. I have been to 2 different cardiovascular specialists and both were not worried about all my test results. Anyone else going through something like this?

unless you get syncope, this is no cause for alarm, and this is benign.

yea, like 3 yrs ago i was diagnosed w/ mobitz 1. the doctors weren't concerned at all. however, i am extremely concerned. i am 31 yrs old now, and i can feel an extreme change in the amount of the palpitations now. it seems way worse now than it did 3 yrs ago, but they say i'm okay.
