Hello, yes this a new diagnosis. A little nervous because I have 2 family members with pacemakers, I am not sure if this is genetic. Dr upped my BP meds and ordered Holter, Echo, and a PET dress test
I have appointments for these, however, since my BP med was increased, I do feel better.
My EKG in December was normal and not showing LBBB

@sharonp51 It would be good to wait until you have the other tests and see what the results are. It does sound like your doctor is following up with good diagnostic tests in order to get a picture of your heart functioning. It may not be anything serious and it is always best not to cross any bridges until you come to them. You said that a BP dose was increased and that you feel better. Which BP drug was this?

You mentioned that your follow up tests are scheduled already. Will they be done in the next few weeks?
