What causes chest pain when you climb the stairs?
Patient: i am having a stable RBBB which is asymptomatic. do i have to treat it? my TMT & echocardiogram tests are normal but, i feel chest pain in climbing stairs after a meal. The pain subsides soon after i finish climbing stairs. my cariologist suggested an angiography. what do i do? Doctor: hellothanks for posting here. RBBB does not need any treatment. only newly occurring RBBB neds evaluation. I guess you have got RBBB from long back. your symptoms are very typical for effort angina. therefore you must go ahead with an angiography. i agree that your TMT is negative, but TMT head a sensitivity of 70% i.e. it will diagnose only 70 out of 100 positive cases. so please go ahead with s cautionary angiography.thank you
