I'm 16 and recently had an electrocardiograph that showed I have incomplete RBBB. The doctors mentioned it might be related to my tonsils because they get inflamed a few times a year, and they're suggesting I get them removed. I tried finding more info about this link between tonsils and RBBB but didn't come across anything helpful. Could you explain how they're connected or if you've seen anything like this before?

I'm experiencing a fast heartbeat and I'm worried if it could be a case of SVT. I had an echocardiogram and it came back normal. Does that mean my heart is fine or should I be concerned about something else?

It is good that your echo is normal. Fast heart beat can be due to various reasons, including SVT. To help control your heart rate, you can take medication like Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-100mg twice daily. However, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm really worried about my vitamin D3 and B12 levels, which are 12 and 160, and I've been experiencing chest pain. I did an ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. My doctor suggested taking Neurobion Forte, but since I started it, my chest pain seems to be getting worse. What do you think could be causing this? Should I be worried about a reaction to the medication, or could there be another issue that wasn't detected?

After taking tab Neurobion Forte, if your chest pain has increased, it may be due to a reaction to the medication. Neurobion Forte contains a combination of vitamins B1, B6, and B12. Since you are experiencing chest pain, it is important to stop taking Neurobion Forte and consult your doctor for an alternative medication. In the meantime, you can try taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen for relief from chest pain.
