Hi Ken, it sure sounds like you might need a review of your medications with your doctor and/or cardiologist. I'm not a medical professional and therefore not in a position to weigh in on the cause of the left bundle branch block. However, you do want to make sure that it is being treated appropriately and that the medications you are currently on are not worsening your cardiovascular issues.

Is your cardiologist aware of the current drugs you take and the history of diagnoses and treatments? I'm also curious that you posted your message to a discussion about fibromyalgia. Do you also have fibromyalgia?

I was just curious about fibromyalgia and the symptoms, some of what I’m feeling. Thanks for replying to my email.
I obtained my health records through the “freedom of information act” and looking through the letters from doctors is certainly enlightening. Some phrases such as: wide QRS complex, subclinical atherosclerosis, nonischemic cardiomyopathy, left bundle branch block, inflammatory arthritis, osteoporosis, chronic insomnia. Amazing why the doctors involved failed to mention many of these results. I have an appointment with a cardio internist this week and will be asking many questions, including about medications. Thank you for your comments. I will keep you updated.
