A member asked:
Is a 2nd degree heart block with no symptoms except a few palpitations easily managed during a c-section? i'm so scared

Block: If its type 1 av block is usually not a problem. If its type 2, a pacer is indicated. You should discuss with your dr., likely you have type 1 and don't need the anxiety.

Excellent question. : Mobtz 1 or wencheback 2 degree block is sometimes cause by parasympathetic excess that slow av conduction. Mobitz 2 av block often heralds more serious conduction problems with progressively more involved blocking of ventricular conduction. A consult to cardiologist need to be done before your c-section. Your OB in consultation with cardiology will take care of you. You will be fine.
