Guest guest Posted May 15, 2002 Report Share Posted May 15, 2002 Hi! I went to my PCP yesterday since I've been having pains in my ribs and under my left breast bone. I don't see the Rheumy til June, and I wanted to tell a doctor! She was concerned and ran an EKG. It revealed a common finding called a Right Branch Bundle Block (RBBB). She said not to be overly concerned--not dangerous--but to get an echocardiogram done. So, I'm having one done Thursday morning at a cardiologist's office. How common would this be in Lupus or RA? I am wondering if it doesn't tie in with my other symptoms? She took 10 vials of blood from me to run the complement tests, DNA(DS) and ENA AB (SM/RNP, SS-A & SS-B. I can get the results on May 28th when I meet with her next. Thanks , for all of your great articles and links! You have been so helpful! And happy belated birthday!!
