Every time I get a palpitation I just put one of these videos on and read the comments and that usually calms me down.
Braxton Cruz same here
@@gabrielaalvarez4248 me too.
Omg same! I watched a video yesterday because I was so distressed because of my palpitations but, after watching him I am a bit more confident. I am here right now because the same feeling is kind of making me uncomfortable.
Same !! Lol
OMG this!
It's such a shame I don't live in the same country as you do. I would immediately visit you because you seem like someone who is professional and above all kind and calming.
tatjana1707 I was thinking the same thing
Me too Tatjana!
The irony is, this kind of doctors have such an expansive clientele that sighting the pope would be a walk in your yard compared to getting an appointment with this guy
He said he's a dr in new York i think
@@marleangreene6117 No, York in the UK.
You just put my mind to rest ! I thank the Lord everytime I watch one of your videos-- I have been blessed so much by them. Thank you doctor, and God Bless you and your family!!!
You are the doctor we all wish had the time for us. Thank you so much for the direct education and comfort, not to mention the money saved and time wasted going in for another less-thorough talk with our cardiologist . ✌🏿️
+Tyler Rooney thanks tyler!!
Hi Doctor this is my first time seeing you.
In 2017 I had a heart stent in the main heart arteries I'm A living miracle today. And for about 30years I've had Acid reflex.today I'm experiencing pain on the left side under my rib by my heart Im 68 years old, please advice me what can I do. It feels like stomach inflammation. I'm not on any medicine, My reg Doctor says they don't find nothing, my heart Doctor says all is ok. I know some thing is not right.
dr sanjay
Very useful chat on this topic..i wished you are my doctor..
I learned something..tks mei
Thankyou
I have had palpitations for about 6 months now. it goes beat, beat, pause, hard beat, back to normal. I've been to the hospital 3 times, 3 different doctors, ekgs, blood work, and x-rays. everything came back normal. I told them all about my mother passing away in 2015 from a heart problem and they said the heart issue she died from was brought on by smoking, drinking, and unhealthy eating. her father passed away at 48 from the same thing. they said i have nothing to fear but I am CONSTANTLY worrying about it. it is very scary. & when it first started it came on very sudden and very hard. now it usually happens when I am resting at night. it doesn't happen often when I am keeping myself busy. they all said it was anxiety. I've been diagnosed with severe anxiety, depression, and have bad sleeping habits. your videos have definitely brought some closure to me. thank you.
Stephanie you've just explained my palpitations, it's so scary everytime it happens, thank you your comment helped me so much💓
Stephanie Leeanne Rae Knight u mirror my anxiety. I have had my mom and aunt die prematurely from heart issues. My anxiety has been thru the roof off and on for the last 20 years. I vlog about these also. I have extreme anxiety over my heart health. It is plaguing.
Stephanie Leeanne Rae Knight this comment was a year ago, but anyone with worries similar to these should also get multiple opinions from different doctors
I have the same problem as you. My heart constantly go “beat , beat, slow beat, pause, normal beat” I get it all around the day and it’s making me worry. Went to the doctor did all my ecg etc etc.. everything came out fine. I don’t know what’s wrong with me
Get a sleep study. Most the time our heart palpitating fat asses have sleep apnea. Of course the silent killer sleep apnea is accompanied by the WORST heart palpitation episodes.
thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos and explaining these symptoms. I have been seen by many drs and NONE of them have ever explained these issues as well as you. Bless you.
Thank goodness for this video!! I have had palpitations (pvcs) since 2012 due to anxiety apparently. I went to the dr then and I had done an EKG, Holter monitor and an echocardiogram.. they all came back as normal. They did found out I had pvcs. I stopped eating chocolate (which btw I absolutely love) and stopped drinking caffeinated drinks and it made a difference. A few months later I got palpitations again and I have them all the time specially if I'm stressed or very anxious! Next week I have an appt with a cardiologist, Im going in for a check up!. Hopefully they will say that my palpitations are benign!!
Thanks again for this video! also your calm voice made my worries go away! love it! :D
Best regards from the USA!
+Wille Cox thank you so much.. i hope you feel better. i suspect you anxiety is driving your palps
Wille Cox same but it still happens so annoying
Piii
Wille Cox same problems here!
Exercise and you’ll find relief
I have palpitation issues and am one of those people who sees 1111 everywhere So when I saw the video was 11:11 in duration I had to watch.
IW Nunn fuck same here man hahaahh
I see 111 everywhere and I have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. I've been having palpitations a lot lately. I also have an Cardiologist appointment next week. Waking up out of your sleep in a panic and rapid heart beat is freightning.
Me too! Have been seeing 11:11 for years and I have lots of pvc’s.
Same here lol, that’s why I clicked on the video. I believe it was the beginning of my spiritual awakening back in 2013 when I started seeing 11, that’s when I started getting sick. My worst year although was when I turned 44(multiple of 11) and now I’m dealing with the palpitations
Angel number ❤️ my son was born on 11/11 and he weighs 11stone 11 right now I always see this number too
magnesium deficiency can also cause palpitations. i loaded up on mg rich foods and my palpitations have reduced dramatically.
jonathan absolutely! Potassium, magnesium and sodium imbalances cause mine.
I need to do that. I need more magnesium.
If you like avocados, they are rich in both magnesium and potassium. My palpitations have improved significantly after starting to eat more avocados. I still have them, but I just have started eating avocados often this week.
Magnesium for me
Other than bananas, what kind of food is rich in magnesium? I really don’t have a good diet, so I don’t each much except chipotle, and Dr Pepper lmao
Absolutely admire your knowledge and demeanor. You always speak to us and not at us or down to us.
Have referred your channel to two of our daughters who suffer anxiety.
Have been crying tonight because yet again, I can't sleep due to palpitations that come on when I try to go to sleep. I want to tell you how wonderful it is out here in the States where I now live,to be able to listen to you with all your information.The fact that you have taken the time to say all this is (excuse the pun) heartwarming! I also feel better hearing your accent because I am originally from the Uk also! I keep being given holtor monitors to see whats happening but my heart often seems to behave perfectly when I have that on, and awful when I don't! Well anyway,thanks again and hopefully next week will be a better week for me because every night this week has been awful and last night I was awake with palps most of the night! Keep up the good work. :)
+QueenNoTeetha151 awww..you make my day with your kind words... thank you. i am sorry to hear that you are struggling.. if you need my help don't hesitate to get in touch
Really i also feel the same way... i am not getting proper sleep because of this..
Yesterday i met a cardiologist and done ecg echo and holter bt he said everything is ok n now m relaxed but still i feel like having the issue.. it really feels discomforting like some engine behave when it doesn't get enough fuel or fuel is goint to exhaust.
My bp alwys gets high i dont know the reason yesterday it was 150/90 and previously also it has been to this..
Thank you dr. for your words. Otherwise i was thinking that this is very serious and i have less time for my family and myself.🙏🏻
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
This is the best explanation I've heard about palpitations, this and the gastric heart connection
Thank you Dr Gupta, kind comment on all the points spelt out
Thank you Sanjay. Your videos are an incredibly calming influence.
I am so glad I found you! My palpitations was keeping me from even wanting to go to work/outside. These videos have put me at ease. Coming from someone who has a lot of anxiety && panic disorder.
You're not alone brother, your palpitations are likely linked to your anxiety even if your not feeling anxious at the time of getting them. The anxiety gets better with age and training the mind.
I'm stuck on Klonopin due to extreme anxiety and panick that started at age 9 from SVT and skipped/ ectopic beats. I was doing very well until recently I started getting ectopics frequently throughout the day.. so my anxiety and panick goes up and I'm a mess.. your not alone. I have good day and bad days. Just had another echo and holter all came back normal but when I get the skips my brain goes haywire of what if .. will I die.. it's horrible
@@mirandaholko6644 haha same here everyday have palpitation dont know what to do
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I love this video! I always worry that i will die whenever i experience palpitation but watching this made me undertand palpitations. Thanks for the knowledge.
"According to some academics, the name Gupta is derived from Goptri, meaning 'protector' ! " -Wikipedia. he lives up to his name Lol ! I subscribed.
The name George is a Greek Baby Names baby name. In Greek Baby Names the meaning of the name George is: From 'georgos' meaning tiller of the soil, or farmer. Famous bearer: St George, patron saint of England, who struggled with a fire breathing dragon symbolizing the devil.
Amazing. You changed my life and helped my anxiety so much. Thank you so much for these videos!!
Such a comforting Video after years..
I put my symptoms in Google and it told me that my heart was going to explode I think I'm just going to watch the videos from dr. Sanjay from now
Google is awful, but I always ask Dr Google 🙄
Same here I always googled my symptoms then I get anxious after and ended me going to ER 😆
I've been recently experiencing heart palpitations due to anxiety and I can't begin to explain how much your videos have helped! I love my doctor and we're going through the appropriate tests, but your explanations have provided so much relief! Thank you so much for what you do! ❤
This video gave me so much peace, thank you, thank you, thank you, you don’t know how much you have helped me❤️
Respect from India 🇮🇳
Thankyou for educating me
What a blessing you are! Thank You so much ❤️😍
This is so helpful and clearly explained, thank you!
You are amazing. To give your time and knowledge and put peoples minds at rest is wonderful. You should be a professor 🤗
Again, thank you SO much! (You are a God send)!

This video gave me some relief!!! I have palpitations but I haven't had any of these symptons or family history of this stuff...my mother and grandmothers and grandfathers on both sides died at old age and no one in my family has ever dropped dead or had heart disease, my father doesnt have palipations at all...my grandfather had high blood pressure from eating bad food for years but he still lived till 68 and was overweight his whole life....I believe my mother passed anxiety on to me she told me she used to have anxiety really bad in the 80s with palpitations etc and she still has them every blue moon but they don't bother her anymore she's 57....thank god for this doctor and thank god I don't have any of these symptoms....I'm still a work in progress with this stuff it can freak you out.
BlackSportsNW good shit man. Same situation here. I’ve having random flutters in my heart out of no where but it’s deff connected to these panic disorders and anxiety.
Thank you Dr Gupta, I love your videos, so informative and reassuring. Thank you for being so generous with your time and knowledge! :)
Indeed.
Thank you for this!! It has calmed me greatly.
Dr. Gupta, you are amazing. You explain everything in plain English and make me feel normal eliminating my anxiety, my worries about my palpitation "PVC" goes away with the simple way you explain. Thank you.
thank you!
This video tells me more than my cardiologist. That´s probably sad, isn´t it?
I'm guessing your cardiologist is more interested in money than patient care.
Dr.Gupta,first you are a great man,second you are a good doctor
thank you!!!!
Thank you doctor, your explanation are clear and practical to describe the heart issues to the patients
Thanks so much for these videos! I learn a lot from them, and it is reassuring to learn I don't have serious issues with afib!
Excellent explanation, you are # 1.
I only speak for myself, but 'sudden' death would be the very least of all worries. If it were to happen, it would be....well.....sudden, and I can do squat about it. I stop....period. It'll be over, just that quick. Instead, I dread heart failure as much as I dread drowning....but I repeat myself. To me, far better to get whacked in the back of the heart than to see it coming and to have to live hour after hour, day after day, week after week, knowing that my heart is dying.
A very useful boon information to anxiety and panic attack patient....thankyou
Thank you for making this video. This really helped me.
Feeling proud after watching your videos.
thanks Rizwan!
First time listening Doc. Great information and keep up the great work!
Thank You Dr.Gupta for the information.
Thank you so very much for these videos..I just started seeing a cardiologist here in the usa.I like that I have some more knowledge from watching you.My Cardiologist welcomed my questions..thank you
thanks debra
I love you Dr. . I am 43 from the states and I suffer from pac and pvc and also tachychardia and a history of " panic disorder. I always think I'm having a heart attack. your videos are thee BEST!!!!!! your videos are so informative and I often rewatch your videos just to calm me down. your videos are so helpful Sir and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. it IS appreciated.
Same here ,how are you now?
Great video! Thank you.
Thank You sir,,, Really very informative.
I feel that some of my doctors base their hypothesis on my problem way too much on age. I get that the vast majority of people who are young don’t have major heart issues, but what if I am one of the outliers? Don’t just dismiss as if I’m crazy. Oh your just a child! No way you can even have an issue! I’m not a doctor but even I understand that that way of thinking is quite dangerous.
Thank you very much for making these videos :)
2:48 this is so comforting.. Thanks doc🙏
Thank you again for the great video!!😘
Great information. Thank you. I've had these palpitations for 2 weeks. They are fading away. At 43 I get worried about it because I used to drink when I was younger. Now I only drink once a week or every other week. I am healthy all blood work is normal. I do juicing and fasting. I am taking more carbs now and exercising when I get sleep.
Thank you! This is very helpful ti know.
Thank you so much for the information in all of your videos.
Great video! Thank You Very Much!
Very charming such a blessing to the world
You're amazing! God Bless you!
Hi Dr Gupta nice to see your video and the great work you are doing. Im 38 years old and had hysterectomy last year. Last 3 weeks having palpitations , ECG has been normal. Due for Holter test tomm n seeing a cardiologist on weekend. Hope my doctor helps me.
Will keep posted.
+Priya Padgaokar thanks priya.. hope you feel better soon
You’re amazing doc.. thanks
Hey dr i want to tell that you always calm me down and decrease my anxiety i have skipped beats from time yo time and strong heart beats i ecg and halter and eko all normal and my anxiety was lowered but after watching this video and my having an uncle and aunt how died while they were young you increased my anxiety by so much more now iam only thinking about sudden death i wont get mad at you because you always made my stress decrease but this time you increased it by ton
Omg, I feel you on this! 🥺 My 1st cousin died of a heart attack at barely 28 years old…
I just turned 31, I started having tachycardia last year and recently got put on Nebivolol. I’m still so scared whether or not the meds will help my morning episodes….guess I’ll know soon….
Thanks for the info. It was helpful to me.
great video. thanks
Hope big pharma n big tech dont get together to shut down our dear, precious Dr Gupta, this lone voice in the wilderness of the medical profession today.
You r the peoples' doctor. Bless you!
I had hip surgery 3 months ago and have been having back pains since. I am approaching my 82 nd birthday. I also have IBS and gasteritis. I recently have been so stressed that I haven’t been sleeping at night and developed anxiety. My heart races and pounds plus my blood pressure shoots up in all this. I have heard there is a gut brain connection to stomach and digestive issues.I appreciate some in put from you. Thank you Judy Spaun
Thank you for the information on palpetations.
Dr Sanjay Yhank you for explaining palpations.. l had my first palpation at Home Depot and l passed out. They called EMSA and when l was in the ambulance l got up. Then when l went to the hospital they said they saw nothing. They were saying it was psychological and when l was going to Home Depot l was looking to buy an appliance. So l wasn't stress l was happy. But it was my heart. Then God blessed me with the best cardiologist and l had my first heart ablation surgery in 2019.
in the past 13 months, I had 4 occassions which i had these alarming palpitations with hypertensive urgency. One thing in common, I was having an acid reflux, regurgitation, digestive discomfort. lm glad I came across these very helpful videos about cardiogastric relation.
How are you doing now ? So do you think the palpitations are linked to your digestive issues ? I’m asking because I’m going through the same thing - palpitations, acid reflux & GERD.
@@latinalove05 Yeah so far Im doing good now. I always monitor myself whenever I eat. and yes these palpitation always happens whenever I overeat or having a reflux. I am losing weight right now. I was was able to get rid of this before when I lost weight but it came back during the pandemic.
@@marklee331 interesting, I’m glad you’re doing well. I’m going to get my heart checked out to make sure my heart is ok, but these palpitations are driving me crazy -- they are super scary and to have to deal with acid reflux or digestive issues on top of that.
@@latinalove05 how long have you been experiencing these palpitations? and how often?
@@marklee331 it’s been almost 3 months along with acid reflux and indigestion issues. I have days were I have them a few times throughout the day and other days I don’t feel any - so they come and go. I also do struggle with anxiety --
Your videos make me feel so much better. Thank you, Dr. Gupta.
I had endocarditis when I was little and have a very small insufficiency of aorta and the mitral valve, but I've always had good blood pressure 115/80 and exercise frequently. I'm 34 years old and while I experienced my first palpitations at the age of 13, they came back with a vengeance this summer and lasted for 4 weeks, then they started again after a 6 week break and haven't stopped since. A holster ECG came down with as little as 3000 ectopic beats per day ( I don't have them when I exercise, and I don't have them when I sleep), but I think some days they're more frequent. It's a vicious circle now, because they are very unpleasant and I regret getting this smartwatch which can unfortunately record ECGs.... I don't know if they'll ever go away, nor what triggered them. I started supplements, and I don't think that's my problem -- they even got worse. I got off of them and now just deal with them as best as I can, because I don't want to be on beta blockers or have an ablation, but I am at my wits end.
My symptoms are very similar to yours (save for the aortic insufficiency/valve issue); for the past two months I have had persistent/constant palpitations. I had an ECG and they diagnosed Afib; of course they want to put me on drugs, which I have resisted. I have a wonderful kinesiologist and with his knowledge, combined with that of Dr. Gupta, we are identifying things that could be contributing to the palpitations. Some of these are: magnesium deficiency, dehydration, alcohol consumption, trapped emotions, and skeletal misalignments in the cervical vertebrae. My CRP is .5 so I don't think inflammation is a cause, though I am taking anti-inflammatories like Chaga mushroom, beet & chlorella supplements, Sulfphur and eating more green veggies (which I always have). I have also added "heart supportive supplements" such as Co-Q, hawthorn, and Standard Processes Cardiowise. Additionally, I am drinking LOTS of fluids - water, kombucha and bone broth that I make. I walk 10 miles/day with my dog, mostly because we LOVE it (no problems walking, but some shortness of breath going up steep hills or at elevation). I feel that I now have a good understanding of what is happening; I need to maintain my regimen to resolve the palpitations. Watching Dr. Gupta's videos has greatly alleviated my anxiety and feeling of "impending doom" (which is one of the trapped emotions that was cleared by my kinesiologist). I have had all of the blood tests (all fabulous), ECG and echo; I see a cardiologist for the first time later this month.... it will be interesting to hear what he has to say, but I believe that I am already on the road to recovery .... good luck to you, and don't worry too much - it causes inflammation! P.S. - I am 66 years young...
I've been diagnosed with PVC'S & most recently SVT. I wore a Zeo patch holter monitor for 2 weeks. SVT lasted over 1 minute. I never had heart symptoms until my thyroid was removed in 2012 due to cancer. That's when I started having symptoms. I get my thyroid hormone levels checked regularly & thankfully my levels have stayed stable for quite a while. I'm 47 & perimenopausal as well. I'm going to have a stress test soon. I've had stress tests, EKG'S, heart monitors several times before along with echocardiograms. It used to be worse when on Synthroid. Since going off Synthroid & being on natural desiccated thyroid hormone medication everything is so much better! I take magnesium, multivitamin, walk regularly, not obese, etc...
Having your thyroid removed most certainly brought on your heart issues! I hope you are doing well and able to keep normal thyroid levels these days? I have mild border-line hypothyroidism myself. Not on medication yet and hope not to have progression of the disorder!
Good information sir .
*Doctor* : No, you won't have a heart attack. Your heart could just stop and you'll die of sudden death.
*Me* : Ah okay... WAIT WHAT
me literally
I dont have any relatives with premature heart problems, however now i am thinking, what if I am that relative....
Lol!!!
Fucking hell yeah fuck me doctor you could have put it a bit better just tell me what I want to hear not the truth 🤣
A heart attack and cardiac arrest are two very different things.
@@dopiaza2006 A heart attack could very well cause cardiac arrest!!!😱
Hey Dr, lately I've been having SO many PVC'S. I wrote to you before, but I am again, hope you don't mind! So, brief history of me. I had an Ultra sound on my heart when I was 16-17 I started to notice the pvcs. I actually diagnosed myself with them, haha. However, I immediately went and got an EKG, 24 Hour Holter Monitor, Ultra Sound, etc, Blood Work, etc.(I'm 19 now) Lately, sometimes I feel light headed(past year or two), I went in to urgent care a year and a half ago and had some tightness of the chest and again, I go another EKG, blood work, and it was fine. I also even got a full urine test. I had an MRI 5 years ago because I have floaters and I wanted to make sure my eyes were okay so we ordered one. also, I have had my eyes fully examined at Wills Eye institution. So, overall, everything has been checked and it's all fine. Right now as I'm writing this I'm getting pvcs and they make me feel drained and lightheaded, but I've felt lightheaded before without them. I do have and always have had some anxiety. The doctors told me before that it was the anxiety. However, I'm just so worried because I'm wondering if it's the anxiety making me feel like this due to the pvcs or the pvcs making me feel like this. it's hard to know and it just stresses me out beyond belief. Could you help me out? Thanks Doc, from Eric.
did you get palpilations daily and did it last for like 1 or 2 secs and it has gone away and then after hours they came back?
Thank you for your very good video
There is an acupuncture point which stops palpitations. I was taught this long ago, and it always worked, and in the end the palpitations stopped. You draw an imaginary line along the base of your little finger nail. Another down the side. Where they intersect, there's a tiny triangle of flesh. Use a rounded pencil end, or similar, and press down until the palpitation stoppes. It works every time, and after a while, the palpitations go away.
Can you be more precise please, I'd like to try this but I'm not sure how or where
@@petbetpet I cant do more than I have above, as I cannot produce a diagram. I'll try again. Are you right handed? OK. get a pencil with a small point, but rounded. If it's a sharp point it will hurt. Look at the little finger on your LEFT hand. Go the nail. On the outside of the nail, on the Left hand side, track down until it meets an imaginary line running along the base of your nail, where the nail meets the "quick". Inside there is a tiny area of skin and flesh. This is where you press the pencil point - or any other small point that is not sharp - and increase pressure but stop if it hurts. hold the pressure until the palpitation stops. Then stop. Do this every time you get a palpitation. AFter a while, they go away.
@@isabellajones8535 thank you 😊
@@isabellajones8535 This idea neglects the fact that _palpitations_ is a general term that includes the symptoms of many different conditions. It's quite dubious that a pressure point would actually fix all those problems. And if it didn't fix the underlying problem, of which the arrhythmia is a symptom... are you really satisfied to merely relieve the symptom?? 😮
@@lucasgroves137 palpitations means fadt pulse, that is all. And I was happy to be able to make it stop and get a heart check.
your videos help a lot from us. thank you handsome doctor. 😇
Thank you doctor
Thank you
Very enlightening Doc. Thanks very much. I've had relatively mild palpitations since my childhood essentially in moments of anxiety but i never made much of it convinced i was just been in a moment of fear. However i was an active sports person and those palpitations never interfered with my physical exertions...
Thank you so much--you are a God send!!

Thanks a lot for Information .
You are just awesome .💙 I have been newly diagnosed with Afib and have so many unanswered questions . Even though I am a retired ICU nurse ,I have had to learn a lot of new information about my own diagnosis . Good news is that my cardiologist said my nuclear stress test showed my vessels as “ pristine” .. I still have many questions and hope to send you an email . Thank you for your amazing service on TH-cam and FB . ♥️
Hi Dr. Sanjay, im having palpitations and it distracts me and most of the time im thinking that im goin to have an heart attack. I haved been checked about it and the doctor says that there's nothing wrong on my hearth but my ECG says that SINUS TACHYCARDIA and i was diagnose2 with GERD. I really appreciate your page and i really admire you that your educating a lot people suffering from this palpitations. Im on a meta blocker untill now and im planning to take an organic barley supplement.
Thank you soooooooooo much Dr.
I've been getting palpitations several times a day with dizziness. My mum and brother died suddenly of heart attacks both early 50s. I'm 52
i understand your fears and pain, hang on there and hopefully the video's of Dr Gupta will bring you somewhat some comfort
@@commendatore2516 I actually found out it was caffeine that caused it. I drink a lot of coffee, went over to decaf and since then no palpatations.
@@annieuk4164 aha i see, i myself drink alot of coffee through the morning hours, i will try to drink less
Can you do a video on myocarditis. I was an athlete and got myocarditis which has damaged my heart and it's doing my head in. Messed up my athletic career. I'm strongly considering coming to see you to get a second opinion and some sensible feedback as my NHS cardiologist was awful
Thank you Dr. you clam me down
Thank you Doc for sharing this..i have palpitation also..
Have a nice day too Doc.
This is extra helpful. I pass out every time I have a treadmill test, very suddenly without warning. I thought everyone did; the doctors and nurses didn’t seem to make much of it. But now you’ve got me thinking…I have a lot of falls, some with serious injuries, like in the past 10 years my best year was 2 falls and my worst year was 6. And most of them occur in the last ¼ or ⅓ of an exercise session. I never think I pass out, because I’m always conscious when I hit the ground. But at least half the time I don’t know why I fell. I always thought I was just clumsy, and maybe that’s true, but is it possible to pass out for just a split second? I recently spent the night in a hospital for observation from palpitations and I’m wearing a monitor for one month. I didn’t think the two were related. Just trying to figure this out.
Have you gotten an answer because I’m experiencing something similar
Whoa, I have a half brother who died at 50 from unknown causes. Should I be taking my palpitations more seriously? Or is heart complications considered common at 50?
I’ve had pvc’s and ectopic beats for decades, since my teens. They can be very uncomfortable and are scary if they last for hours. Dr not concerned but they affect my life. Feels like my heart stops for a couple seconds and it is unnerving.
Thank you doctor🙏🙏👍👍
Now I understand the difference of AF and Atr flutter both of which I have had .Ablation has eliminated both I hope for a long time
I want an ablation if it'll make the irregular beats go away, im having them all through the day and now at nite
Thankyou Sanjay, you’re fantastic with all this information. You’re educating us all.
I’m a 60 yr old female who is fit and well , and on no medications. I keep very fit and still teaching fitness classes each day. I’m a non smoker and eat fairly healthily.
I had a spell of gentle palpitations ; the longest Ive experienced, say 10 mins , just after I’d eaten my lunch today and was sitting down.
Let me clarify that to me I translate “palpitations” as a fluttering sensation of my heart. Have I got this term right ?
Should I mention this to my doctor or not ?
No. Not blackouts. Heart pounds, sometimes hurts, I stop, bend over, and things turn yellow not black...I stop just short of completely blacking out. Face goes numb and cold. I have severe allergies and I'm use to anaphylaxis from over the years being exposed and trying to find what was triggering my more severe allergies. So I've had lots of practice keeping myself from blacking out lol.
That only happens in rigorous exercise or sudden bending over. Sometimes when I even crouch down and suddenly stand up to quick?
Seeing cardiologist soon. Thanks for your videos Dr. Gupta.
Could you be more specific with your terms, ie. is 75 really old? Is 60 young? I appreciate all your videos and information. You are quite reassuring! Thank you!
He mentioned anyone above 50 year olds
You’re amazing
