Abnormal EKGs

I hit a hiccup in the SF physical process. I've had two EKGs almost a month apart that show a 'Right Ventricular Conduction Delay.'

I was referred to Korean hospital cardiologist who tried to convince me that I might have Brugada syndrome or Sudden Unexpected Death Syndrome (??, and that I should do no more physical activity for 6 months, and he wants me to show up once a month for 6 months for an EKG.

The visit went something like this.
Doc: "Does anyone in your family have a history of dying suddenly when they were young"
Me: "No."
Doc: "Do you ever feel dizzy or lightheaded?"
Me: "No."
Doc: "I think you might have Brugada syndrome. Don't worry too much though, you probably won't die."

I'm getting a second opinion from another Korean hospital on Monday. I've been researching my 'situation', but I am looking for some questions to ask the new cardiologist when I see him/her. I'm a little concerned now, moreso curious in where this will go. Although this is a 'modern' country, I do have a little concern knowing that the majority of the population here believes that you can die from "Electric fan death." Google that for a laugh...
