Incomplete RBBB linked to tonsils?

Question

Asked for Female, 16 Years

My electrocardiograph showed incomplete RBBB. I'm a 16 year old female. They say it could be linked to my tonsils, which get inflamed a few times a year. They advise I should get my tonsils removed. I couldn't find any information on the internet connecting tonsils with RBBB so i'm a little confused.
