I would like to join; my pacemaker was placed in 2016 for bradycardia (and bundle branch block).

Howdy, glad to meet you.

I am wondering about your bundle branch block. Please clue me to your signs that you exhibited.

I did not have too many bothersome symptoms from the bundle branch , a little lightheaded occasionally. It was the bbb with bradycardia together, that produced more problems. Signals were not getting through and I could feel pressure radiating into my face and slower pulse.

Thank you for your response. I have brady, right branch bundle block, and sometimes when I walk at a quick pace for a distance of about 1/2 mile, like when I go to the community college for a class, then sit down within about 15 minutes I am out like a light for a short period of time. At one time I stood up (about 18 years ago) and had to grab onto the workbench until I was steady. Was a bit light headed.

Seeing my cardiologist in December with the screen shot from one of the most recent episodes where I had heart rate 102 from th walk, then it dropped to about 40 after I sat down for the training session I had to attend. So, I'm glad you responded a bout your experience. Now I can see the potential relationship between the RBBB and the times I seem to go out like a light.
