	Answer by Dr Rowena S, MD (doctor) on Wed 27, Aug 2008 01:30pm: Hi, Bundle branch block (BBB) is a condition in which there is a delay or obstruction in the transmission of the heart's electrical impulses.In most people, bundle branch block does not cause any symptoms. In some people, either left or right bundle branch block may lead to fainting, or to dizziness and the sensation of being faint. The cause of bundle branch block is often a serious heart condition. Bundle branch block may develop if you have coronary artery disease, and may be the result of: a heart attack, an inflamed or weakened heart muscle, a viral infection of the heart muscle, high blood pressure, or a heart abnormality that is present at birth. It is best that your boyfriend see a cardiologist for further evaluation and make regular appointments to be sure that the condition does not become worse. There's no specific treatment for many cases of bundle branch block. It is important to know the underlying cause for proper management. Lifestyle measures such as cigarette smoking cessation, reduction of the dietary cholesterol and fat, maintaining weight at normal levels,and exercising regularly may lower the risk of worsening his condition. Take care and regards.
