How do I take care of myself if I have a bundle branch block?
If you see a new healthcare provider, always tell them that you have a bundle branch block. This information will help them better monitor your heart health and overall wellness.
Make sure your provider knows about your BBB diagnosis if you have:
- An exercise stress test, as an LBBB can make diagnosis of certain conditions more difficult.
- A medical emergency, such as a heart attack.
- Surgery for another heart condition.
You may want to carry a copy of your EKG, so you have it handy if an emergency happens.
