What I can tell you because I've just finished up cardiac anatomy in med school is that extra conduction pathways are fairly common. The heart has tons of nerves and conduction pathways, and so an extra one is a pretty routine occurrence. My dad has one, and he's not a Wolff-Parkinson-White patient, either. If they were worried about yours at all, they'd already be making plans to treat you with medicine or do a catheterization-ablation or tell you to limit your activities or change your medicine, so yours really sounds fairly harmless. They simply show up as differences on your EKG, and a lot of people have them. My husband Dave is going to tell you this exact same thing.

Don't stress out about it, OK? If anything, you're causing yourself more harm by stressing about it than the extra conduction pathway is. If you can play hockey and take your Adderall, you're no doubt fine. And like I've already said, if you weren't fine, they'd already be making plans to fix things. (These days, cardio-electrical problems are amazingly treatable even when they're serious.) Oh! Do be aware, however, that alcohol can complicate heart electrical situations, too, and so you might go easy on the alcohol. They tell me not to drink more than one glass of wine because of my arrhythmia, but mine's particularly susceptible to alcohol, from what I've read. I know you wanna blaze, too, but the most common strains that are out there on the street these days tend to be sativas, which can "excite" the heart to some extent, so be wary, like I said.

Electrical conduction system of the heart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The link above will show you a little about electrical conduction in the heart. It's very complex and amazing, and if you look at the little animation at the right, all those red signals are nerve pathways. So it's very common to have little unique differences in your nerve pathways. Take care, OK? If Dave can't find his password and come online, I'll have him read over my shoulder so he can reassure you!
Wow...you dont even understand how much you have done for me like i cant even thank you enough. Ive been looking and looking for help and could never find it. thank you so much. one more thing lol is getting drunk okay? fomr what it sounded like i think u said it is
