    Do you think the palpitations are due to feeling anxious??? Do you take any meds for anxiety

     My dad had a right bundle branch block and it never caused him any problems. He lived with it for many years, probably 50 years.  He passed away not from that but from natural causes in his late 80s.  He was a runner, and very active.  Just get your doctors ok like he did for things like that. 

     You will be just fine 😁👍??

     The palpitations can be due from anxiety. Do things that relax yourself. Listen to meditations for anxiety on YouTube.  they totally calm down my mind and body and symptoms.  Don’t think about negative things because the palpitations will get worse.

    Listen to a short meditation on breathing that will help you get control over anxiety.

    its called “Mindfulness breathing Guided meditation 10 minutes “ on you tube. 

     there are many meditations on YouTube for anxiety, breathing,  panic etc. 

     you will start to feel your heart rate slowing down a little and you’ll feel so much better! Do these often.

    Amirah,

    I too have been diagnosed with RBBB. Just today in fact. I have had palpitations for the last 3 days. Went to urgent care this morning and after having an ekg was told I had RBBB. I am being referred to a cardiologist. I have severe anxiety and hypochondria so this is totally freaking me out! I have been crying off and on all day. I'm scared that there might be something seriously wrong with my heart. I have 3 children and am scared to death that something might happen to me and that they will be devastated. I'm hoping that everything turned out ok for you and that you're doing well. Please give an update and let us know what you found out from your cardiologist.

    Thanks!

    Lori

    BBB is pretty common. my dad had it for decades with no problems at all.

    When trying to sleep, it really helps me to listen to meditations on you tube for anxiety, or sleep, etc.  

    A great one that will relax you and calm down your heart rate is called Mindfulness breathing Guided meditation 10 minutes.    It helps you gain control and focus. It will take your mind off of your heart so you can relax and sleep. 

     there are many meditations to choose from and I usually fall asleep when listening because they’re so relaxing. 

     they also have nature sounds like the ocean, rain, forest etc. plus very relaxing sleep music. Check them out! When you relax your mind, symptoms will relax or go. You’re going to be fine! 😁

    Listen dear. I get constant palpitations at times too and I had an EKG done a while back that said Right Bundle Branch Block. I wanted to get to the bottom of this and figure out what that meant and what caused it. The cardiologist notified me that its actually really common for the machines to spew out Right Bundle Branch Block and that the cause of it is actually normal. When the machines spew out the Right Bundle Branch Block the cardiologist or doctors look at the QRS number on the EKG and if that is 120 and below then they are not concerned at all. I believe you constantly thinking about your heart palpitations is causing more anxiety for you which is causing more stress and that is releasing more cortisol into your body which is overacting your hormones which triggers your flight or fight response and that will cause your palpitations. Remember this.. MAJORITY OF THE TIME PALPITATIONS ARE NOT SERIOUS UNLESS ACCOMPANIED WITH FAINTING, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, LIGHTHEADEDNESS, OR IF YOUR HEART RATE AT REST JUMPS TO LETS SAY 160-200 BEATS PER MINUTE. Those circumstances due warrant a trip to a doctor but I am a firm believer that your anxiety is triggering your palpitations and you constantly thinking about them and worrying about them which is causing you to be more aware of your heart beat.

      I also have incomplete rbbb and a hiatial hernia which can also cause pvc's or skipped beats. I am worried about them every day - all day. Sometime take klonapin for anxiety. Sometimes helps and sometimes does not. Am constantly afraid of the skipped beats. Any advise would be helpful. Thank you
