Most likely you are : safe to exercise, but if you still have SOB you should continue the investigation to find cause.

Noncardiac problem: Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is generally not symptomatic. Sounds like the heart is not the cause of the shortness of breath. However there are other causes that should be explored, especially lung disease. Many people have shortness of breath with exertion because they are simply out of shape. Keep working with your doctors.
