View allI'm wondering if taking a beta blocker before getting an ECG might hide any signs of a heart attack. Could it affect the results or mask any important signals that might indicate a problem?
Taking a beta blocker before an ECG can indeed affect the results by potentially masking or hiding signals of a heart attack. Beta blockers can lower heart rate and blood pressure, which may impact the ECG readings. It is generally recommended to avoid taking beta blockers before an ECG if there is suspicion of a heart attack. If you are scheduled for an ECG and are taking beta blockers, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider about whether to temporarily stop the medication before the test.

My uncle has been diagnosed with incomplete RBBB and I'm just wondering how serious that is and what we should do about it. He's also been taking Tolol XL 25 mg for the past 10 years. Should he be worried or consider any specific treatments?
Incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) is a condition where the electrical impulses in the heart are delayed or blocked in the right bundle branch. It is important to monitor this condition regularly as it can sometimes progress to a complete block. In most cases, Incomplete RBBB does not cause symptoms and does not require specific treatment. However, it is important for your uncle to have regular follow-ups with a cardiologist to monitor his heart health. Regarding the medication Tolol XL 25mg that your uncle has been taking for 10 years, it is a brand name for Metoprolol XL. This medication is a beta-blocker that is commonly used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain, and heart failure. The dosage of 25mg is a common starting dose for Metoprolol XL. It is important for your uncle to continue taking this medication as prescribed by his doctor. Regular follow-ups with a cardiologist, monitoring of the Incomplete RBBB, and continued use of Metoprolol XL as prescribed are important steps in managing your uncle's heart health.
