Hi,
Almost not paediatric anymore but not yet 18 so posting here.
Found today that DS 17 has (partial) right bundle branch block (RBBB). He had a first ECG in October and the advice had been sent back to the GP & eating disorder clinic without telling me. I had asked the nurse what the feedback was and she said just sinus tachycardia. But it wasn’t just that at all.
I understand RBBB is often fine left as it is and has no consequences. However, my DS is having symptoms (we assumed they’re anxiety based as he has 24/7 high anxiety ) of heart pain and chest pain, breathlessness on doing anything - going upstairs, walking more than a few hundred metres, bending down etc.
He also feels faint now and again, his feet are pretty much always purple and we just assumed it was due to him not eating and drinking enough because of his eating disorder.
With electrical signals being not being continuous though in RBBB, I’m thinking all of these symptoms are down to this. Cardio team wrote back to GP & eating disorder clinic advising it’s probably fine.
We are seeing the GP next week to get a referral to cardiology but just wondered if anyone else had this issue with a teen and if yes, did the cardio team also seem a bit blasé?
