Hey, Hope all is well. I'm just scrolling bcz im aware my husband ha a left bundle blockage, he passed. 3/31/2018. They just told me cause of death was hypertensive cardiovascular disease. So confused trying to pin point what happened. I left him in bed watching college basketball lasted two min twenty seconds, came back he was with no pulse.... Gone. My advice when it comes to heart issues... Don't play!! Stay on top of your overall health!! God bless u.
Hi!
Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB) is not a diagnosis or a disease, it's simply a pattern on EKG. So no, it can't kill you!
It's somewhat more uncommon to have LBBB than RBBB (Right BBB) and it's more often a sign of heart disease, but people can be born with LBBB too and in that case, there is no need to worry. That's why the doctors do more careful examination when they see LBBB on EKG than RBBB.
My first thought were an enlarged heart, but that's ruled out with ultrasound. The ultrasound will also rule out other diseases that can cause LBBB (old heart attacks, etc).
No need to panic, your doctor told you that your heart is fine. But you're only 28, so it will be a good idea, both for your anxiety, your irregular heart rhythm and your tachy, to gain a better physical condition. That will also help you regain trust to your heart.
