Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. You should not worry about. You should know that right bundle branch block means a characteristic of your electric heart system. It shows the way how your impulse passes through the heart. This branch block in your case means that the electrical impulse is blocked in one of its way, the right fascicle and the heart contraction and the impulse passes through another way. Usaly in young ages and healthy people this is quite normal, its just a normal electrical variation. It is not a dangerous situation but a normal variety, and it has not any effect on your organism. In some chases it is associated with other heart pathology. So, in my opinion you have nothing to worry about. Just to stay sure for the future I would recommend a cardiac echo to evaluate heart function and valves and a holder rhythm monitoring to evaluate your rhythm. Hope I was helpful. Best regards,
