Hi! Hope this helps.
Firstly, remember each medical case is different, these are just my experiences which could be and are probably totally different from yours and then again may be not!
Well,I joined the RAF in 84 and had an ECG then and every couple of years since. I was grounded for a couple of years with a gut problem. In 96 I attempted to regain an RAF "flying" medical cat and at same time went to the CAA for a Class One medical. The CAA highlighted that I had a RBBB (Right Brundle Branch Block)(which I had never been informed of) and did I have a history of this. The answer was yes and it was first shown on my first and every subsequent ECG. So everything was fine... and still is!
The follow was gained from my Doc: apparently RBBB is a "difference from the norm" and about one in every 10 people have it. If you have had it since birth or childhood then it should not be a problem, however, if you develope it later in life then it COULD be a sign of something more sinister. I'm not saying the above is true or not, it's just what the docs told me. Ask them and be pushy if need be, if you don't receive the answer you want go to someone else/get a second opinion/see a specialist. Any more questions please ask! At what stage was it pointed out to you, first ECG? - What have the docs said?
Cheers
