Hi... I'm really happy to join this conversation Plus info. Two months ago I was scheduled for Surgery and had an EKG and they found I have a Left Bundle Branch Blockage. I am 69 and Never had any Heart Issues. So...I went through a series of tests and the diagnosis was "Elevated brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level. I am very concerned because this is connected with the Covid Vaccines. I was a Nurse and at the time and I didn't want to walk out just because of a Vaccine, so I went through the Vaccines. Does anyone else feel the same?

I had slightly elevated BNP when I was exposed many years ago to mold in my house. I had a lot of issues from the mold all of which resolved after remediating the house.
Many many years later I developed a LBBB which is stable and my EFR is 53% and I get it checked every 2 years. I have had an ablation for Aflutter and 2X Afib ablation. The most recent being in Sept. 2024. I am terrified fo getting Covid the Virus. Covid the vaccine is the best thing sliced bread and I would say that even if I got side effects from it. When researching Covid cases vs Covid vaccine reference LBBB with to w/o elevated BNP the literature weighs heavily heavily that getting Covid the virus is the vast majority of the cases of LBBB vs the Vaccine. It's like comparing deaths from plane crashes vs automobile crashes.

I’ve recently been diagnosed with LBBB discovered with ekg in a 1 year follow-up with Cardiologist. I was feeling great, etc at the time with no symptoms. Of course afterwards not feeling so well mentally and must have put myself in a state of worry to now I feel like I’m out of breath with any real exertion, etc. My reply is that I’m concerned that this is a result of the Covid jabs too as well. Only had the first two vacs, but those were probably the worst since we all became the test subjects. Recently finished the 30 day heart monitor. I go back next week for Nuclear Stress test and Echo Cardiogram. Needless to say, I’ve stressed myself about the whole thing. Good news is this has put the fear in me to seriously step up my diet and exercise. I’ve broken up with Sugar and Carbs in general and this week began fasting between 5pm and 9am every 24 hours. 72 year old male on statins and BP for 16 years. The statins have created a large amount of calcium in my system, 2,000 CAC score. Otherwise very healthy and active.
