View allI'm a bit concerned because my ECG showed something called IRBBB, but my 2D echo results came out normal. Does this mean everything's okay with my heart, or should I be worried about any issues? Is it safe for me to continue going to the gym and doing exercises? Would appreciate your insight on whether there's anything to be concerned about.
IRBBB (Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block) is a condition where the electrical impulses in the heart are delayed or blocked in the right bundle branch. In your case, since your 2D echo is normal, it indicates that the structure and function of your heart are normal despite the IRBBB on ECG. You can continue with your gym and exercise routine. However, it is always recommended to start with moderate intensity and gradually increase it while monitoring your symptoms. If you experience any chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, or shortness of breath during exercise, stop immediately and consult a healthcare professional. No specific medication is required for IRBBB if there are no other underlying heart conditions.
