- In this video, Dr Sanjay Gupta talks about how the biggest problem with ectopic heart beats is the fear that they cause. If you would like to speak with me about them you can do so via my website www.yorkcardiology.co.uk or my Facebook page: yorkcardiology@gmail.com

Heart flutters, skipped beats and “rushing” feeling can be very scary and uncomfortable. I’ve worn holter monitors 3 different times. Chest X-rays. Echocardiograms, stress test and EKG’s and my heart is fine.
I’ve learned that the palpitations come when I am stressed and overthink with some level of health anxiety. But one of the major causes for me is my gut issues. When bloated or have some acid reflux this definitely causes heart palpitations. It feels like little air bubbles coming through my heart and causes fluttering. Especially when lying down and shifting around in bed. They are like heavy “thuds”
I’ve learned to relax my mind and let them be when they come. I don’t resist. I will get active and move or if it’s a night in bed, I get up, put on some soothing music and do deep breathing technics and let them pass. Don’t eat past 6 or 7 and keep dinner light! Create a system for yourself to ease the palpitations and get rid of them. Release and let go. Also take some magnesium and make sure you are eating foods high in potassium.
I could have written this! Describes my palpitations exactly and they are so much worse when my stomach is not right...
Excellent advice.
I get skips basically the same time every night when trying to sleep, all tests are fine but not sure why it’s on a timer. I do have health anxiety pretty strong right now though
Thank you so much..I can so much relate to your experience. It's really sad and terrifying 😭. I suffer from anxiety and I feel like my stress has made this skipped heart beat worse. When I am medication skipped heart beats rarely occur but then when I am not on it ...it occurs. 😭
Do anyone feel like something is stuck in your throat before getting skipped heartbeats?
I dont think this guy knows how unbelievably comforting he is. God bless you sir.
Amen brother
Yes! When I feel fearful of the ectopics I come to his videos to calm down.
Like samt. Wie velvet....
this made me cry. You have become a great friend and you literally are changing lives. This was so needed today .
Kendra Diane Parra i second that
Magnesium has saved me!!! Also I cut out sugar and Caffeine
Me too ....
This absolutly made me cry but helped me feel better. I have SVT, the SVT has been good but I have been getting a lot of ectopics for the last 5 months. Just had another echo and 48 hr holter on everything perfect. Even after these tests the extopics still scare the shit out of me. This all started at age 9 and I have severe anxiety and panic attacks due to all of this. Thank you for your words I don't feel so alone and crazy.. I know it's my fear of having this condition like his son my phobia became my heart
@@mirandaholko6644 i feel what you say! Here the same. But did the magnesium help against the ectopics? And if no, then what do you use against it.
Greetings
Health anxiety is in a league of its own and it takes a doctor like this to change the minds of those plagued by it. Well done.
Spot on!
I have had health anxiety (hypochondria) for twelve years and frequent non complex pvcs/pacs for just as long. Four different cardiologists, numerous ER doctors, and several primary care doctors over that time all told me my heart was fine and that I didn't have to worry about the pvcs/pacs. This video was the first time someone explained it in a way that really made a difference. Thank you for the time you took to patiently and thoroughly explain it! You've given me a peace of mind I've searched more than a decade for and you can't imagine my gratitude.
Ms. Mars love it
Ms. Mars you sound just like me!
Hypochondriac here as well and my experience is the same as yours.
Same here
My condition
Seriously
Sister
I’m the same hun x it’s horrible and I don’t wish it on my worst enemy but it’s nice to know others are like me.
One word for him, This Dr. is just genius.... Palpitations and Ectopics are worrying me from last 1 year now but the strength that I am feeling inside me after watching his videos is really impactful. Thanks Dr. Sanjay Gupta .... I am just 30, a cyclist, an athlete but palpitations were taking my life away from me but you are restoring my faith back in me and my abilities.
we need more Dr like this ;)
+korill mac he is so caring... hard to find these days
Agree
On God
Hello sir i am 21 year young boy
And my heart beat is so much faster in the morning,when i wake up and it remain faster for like upto 1 hour, rest of the day i feel normal.
I think their are 2 reason that make my heart beat fast.. .
1). I have a bad habbit of masterbation from like 7 to 8 year (and i have excessively done Masterbation for like 1.5 years currently) which make me feel lazy for 2/3 days after i masterbate.
2). And the second reason could be i have a bad routin of sleep and eating , like i start sleeping around 3 a.m(i always go to bad by 1:30 a.m. but can't sleep till 3a.m ) which i think coz of INSOMNIAC and wake up at 10 a.m and then eat milk at 11 a.m and have lauch at 2p.m. and then dinner at 8 p.m
I m not a doctor ,so please help me by telling the reason which leads me too faster heartbeats when i wake up.
Thank You🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 eagerly waiting for your Reply 😊.
I needed that talk so badly. Currently having 7 ectopics thuds a minute and so frightened . This has reassured me .❤
Me too. ❤ you aren't alone friend.
This man deserves an award for being so caring and empathetic. His bedside manner is beyond any Dr I have ever seen and it's via TH-cam. Hats off to you sir you are a true gentleman
WHAT CURED IT FOR ME. I'm a very healthy young individual and never a health condition. I had ectopics for 3-4 years with multiple doctors clearing me - saying I should just learn to live with them, that it's my anxiety causing it?. Long story short - it was food that was triggering my daily ectopics. I managed to self diagnose (no doctor will have enough time to check you thoroughly, and I have learned that the hard way). I have histamine intolerance. It's too long to explain, but I can't eat a lot of things - anything that's fermented, aged or processed , canned or very ripe.healthy I went from 50-100 daily ectopics to 0. Getting the normal life back was literally the best present I could ever ask for. Don't give up, there's definitely a reason for your ectopics even if your doctor says it's normal and you should just learn to live with it. You can heal, just keep looking and trying new things. Also - there's a facebook group for people who suffer with ectopics. Do join, there's a lot of people sharing their findings of what helped them.
Good to hear you are rid of the ectopics. Whats the name of the facebook group you mentioned? Thanks
@@ahmedahonzada562 it’s called heart palpitations / ectopic beats
I have suffered from ectopics for 2 decades. I have managed the problem in recent years with some anxiety medication and lifestyle changes but ocassionally, I get a run of brutal days with non-stop ectopics and my mind, despite months and months with no symptoms, goes right to the worst case scenario. I can tell you that in 2 decades nothing serious has ever happened (no syncope, no chest pain, no heart attack). I have had EKG, and halter and echo and nothing is wrong. It is a real symptom of a common problem that is harmless but exacerbated by health anxiety. Dr. Gupta is very reassuring. Thankyou for your reassurance !
I first noticed ectopic beats (about every 4th beat) when I was about ten years old. They went away, then appeared again in my 20's. They lasted a month, then went away, and came back again in my 30's, and then again in my 40's. Then they were gone for 8 years, and now suddenly they are back again! My doctor told me years ago my heart is fine, don't worry about it. He said if my capacity for exercise and recovery from exercise are good, then forget about the ectopics. I'm fairly athletic and have worked outside for 30 years, so I get a lot of exercise and never have any problem. Also used to work out at the gym and get my heart to max, three days a week, and no problems. Even now, in my mid-50's, I can ride my bike, climb mountains in Colorado, do hard work outside, and no problems at all. So my heart is fine as far as I can tell. No shortness of breath, or pain, or anything at all. So like you, we just need to try to ignore the ectopics and maybe they will go away again!
R u still experiencing the ectopics??? Plz rply.... How to deal with it
Your videos are slowly helping me overcome my fear of PVC's. I get several different ectopic beats from flutters to the missed beat and thump. My anxiety is the worst part.
Corella Landrigan I get the thumps, the long pause, the flutters, and then some that feel like my heart is like jerking. It’s hard to explain. I’m still here though!

@@chiraggandhi2560
I have this too...in the morning after wake up. It starts after breakfast and after 1.5h it's normal again.
@@shantalvandeweerd4088 ya that’s probably anxiety
You are my hero. Why aren't all doctors like this? If I had gotten a little reassurance from any physician I have seen for any of my weird symptoms I wouldn't be such a hypochondriac. I want to conquer my health fear and live a normal anxiety free life!!
Facing same
I have a ectopic beat but only 12 Mts. I’m 73 I’m fit 75 kg non smoker non drinker. Will it shorten my life. Thanks Jc
This doctor is a gift from God, taking his precious time to help a complete stranger.
Woww!! The health anxiety hit the nail on the head for me! I am so grateful I found your videos. You have no idea how much these videos help me. Thank you so much for your time.
Kristen631 I feel you I do have too
Kristen631 i second that!

If I get a chance to meet him, I'll kiss on back of his hands for sure, for the reason that he's the only Cardiologist who doesn't only explains things but also teaches us as if we're his students.
Love to be a subscriber.
Love you Sanjay sir
This is by all means, the definition of what a doctor should be. In his case I would write DOCTOR with uppercase. What an amazing advice this was!
You are literally the best cardiologist ever. The way you are explaining this, makes a huge difference
Thank you, thank you! I am 78 and had start when I was early 50's. I know anxiety was cause. Saw a good family doc, tests, med for awhile. It went away. Had in my 60's when husband dying. It went away. Now my 10-yr-old grandson has this. You have given me this to show him. We are checking it out, but he needs comfort. He is very intelligent and sensitive like his grandfather. We are close and he told me this quietly. His mom & I talked later. He is being treated for anxiety. So many of our young ones have problems. Again, thank you for quietly giving a good explanation. Even a child can understand.
Thank you so much for this video! I feel so alone when experiencing this as family members don’t understand how terrifying it seems at the time. I have these quite often, I see a cardiologist; he is very good and sometimes I feel like I need to call him to just put my mind at rest, your videos are so helpful and reassuring. I’ve had all the tests including a MRI a echocardiogram and a angiogram (which was normal no blockages) after being admitted to hospital with VT and my heart being weakened, after having a MRI the results showed it was luckily back to full working order with no damage and another echo test came back normal also. The docter does not know why this happened but I’d just had a bad case of the flu which may have played a part. I am now on medication as prevention beta blockers and heart meds. I experienced some palpitations after this and had for years before so after a stress test I was diagnosed with a benign arrhythmia. I am 42 and feel like my hormones have a big part to play in my heart beat, as some days I feel totally fine and other days I only need to walk up a set of stairs to set of my arrhythmia. Anxiety also has a big effect on my heart rhythm. Then there are times I just notice the eptipic beats. I feel like I’ve noticed these more since being off work due to lockdown and having more time on my hands. I also find it very helpful to read all the comments, just knowing I’m not alone is so comforting! Thank you all for sharing your experiences! ❤️🌈
Thank you for sharing your experience as well!
We need more doctors like this. Thank you!
You have made such a positive impact on my health related anxiety I cannot thank you enough. What an absolute legend you are!
You are a blessing and appreciated! You've improved the quality of life for many, thank you very much!
Love this! As someone who has struggled with these for 20+ years this hits home!
Thank you so much for always taking the time to reassure and educate people like myself who suffer these dreadful ectopics. I play your videos over and over to keep reassuring myself.
Two thumbs up for sharing this. You are helping many people by doing this!
I so very much appreciate your thoughtful and thorough review of these subjects. Having you distill down the info is a wonderful! Love all of your videos. Your kindness and caring come right through the screen and are palpable. Thank you. You have enlightened and calmed me.
I wish I had a Dr like you in my life. You really know your stuff and also know how to talk to patients instead of scaring the sh*t out of them! Bless you!
You are awesome for taking the time to post this video. Much love, Dr. Gupta
Thank you so much for giving up your valuable time. I am quite an elderly lady and have had periods of ectopic beats that my doctor assures me are not harmful. I will be having a 24 hour monitor in the future. Finding your site has made such a difference to my life. Thank you again.
Extremely helpful!! Thank you so much for taking the time to offer this most important information!
Thank you for this! I have a lot of fears around my rapid heartbeat. You have opened my eyese to so many things! Next stop, exercise!
Thank you Dr. Gupta! You help take the fear out of these!
Was having them before watching this and like magic, they stopped. Thank you for teaching me all about this and the affects of fear. I feel so at ease now. Your passion for this topic, knowledge, experience, confidence , kind and comforting tone , worked. You are my internet go to doc. Thank you!
Beautiful video that I ALWAYS come back to. Dr. Sanjay, you know how special you are for doing this for us ectopic sufferers.
Thank you for taking the time to produce and share this video. I am very grateful to have come across them. You have helped relieve a tremendous amount of stress regarding these off-beat beats. Quite excited to know that I most likely won't be dropping off like a swatted-fly anytime soon. I'm going to rename my ectopic beats to ’heart ticklers’. Everytime I feel the tickles, i’ll use it as a reminder to breath properly and enjoy the present moment :)
This video was beyond awesome!! You hit every point imaginable. Thank you Sanjay. Your a very good man. Thank you for all you do for people. Thank you a million times.♥️
You are so caring, can’t thank you enough for your expertise and willingness to educate us and put us at ease!!!!!
I spent a long time with an anxiety disorder because I had a severe phobia of not only palpitations but just my heart beating! I have a TH-cam channel discussing how to overcome this! But I am not a doctor so I can’t give out information like you have. But honestly, anxiety is such a scary thing so I could not thank you enough for your videos. You mean the world to me. ❤️❤️❤️
I follow your channel. And have mailed you
Okay, you have just described my problem exactly. It’s not just the ectopics anymore, whenever I notice my heart beating I just get anxious. It’s like it’s a ticking time bomb. I look at my heart like it’s the thing that can take my life away, instead of thinking it’s the one thing that is giving me my life …
@@emmaspiessens9353 same here does it make you get full blown panic attacks too?
Someone in a thread below said she was wanting to cry tears... i am so grateful for your video... i have been so fearful... i certainly can say it is an extremely emotional topic for me... so again thank you Dr Gupta. I have seen you so many times on tv over the years and you are such a wonderful & beautiful person...
You are a blessing to all of us that feel our ectopic beats. I also feel my PVC'S and PAC's, my burden is less than 1%percent burden of PVC's and PAC's on 2 week holter monitors which I've worn various times, including recently, I've had normal echocardiogram recently as well as EKG, stress echocardiogram and other tests including MRI of heart. Regardless I get bad anxiety when I feel my PVC's. I can go days and weeks with barely feeling any or none, then suddenly out of nowhere they will occur, which causes anxiety and i only feel them at rest, like when laying down in my bed or sitting, not while exercising or keeping active. Thank you for your videos. You are doing a great service to people.
I needed this today! Thank you so much. I have been struggling with anxiety and every time I have a palpitations it’s very hard for me to contain my worry/fear. Thank you again!!
Me too
Thank you for posting this I've suffered with these a long time. This video make me mee 100x better!! You're wonderful!
OMG!!! I love this guy, if I could get one visit with you Dr. Gupta I know in my heart my heart evaluation would be one that I could understand and live with. You are a phenomenal person and professional. You not only have extreme knowledge and wisdom as a cardiologist, but you understand people, which is very important when treating individuals. God bless you we need more caring doctor's like you. Thank you 🌺
Thank you so much for giving us great advice, once more. I appreciate you taking the time to educate us on such an important subject, the heart. We need more cadiologists like you in this country, USA.
You're amazing. Thank you for taking this time out of your day to make this video. It really really helps. I have seen a couple different cardiologists, they have done stress test, stress echo test, holter, overnight holter, 2 day holter, ekg, ecg, blood work, everything. They say I'm fine. But their time with me is short. It was very hard for me to grasp how I could be fine with a random plunger thudding in my chest. This video has put my mind at ease. Thank you.
This guy has given me more peace of mind than my own doctor , crying right now as it’s released some stress
Thank you, my friend. Your videos have helped me cope with it, and also my anxiety (which more than likely causes it). Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video! It has explained a lot. I knew I had very bad health anxiety, but its so hard to realize you are exaggerating the problem yourself. This has changed the way I've looked at heart palpitations or ectopic beats. Thank you
Excellent. You are not only a professional, but a great friend in those dark, lonely early hours.... Blessings!
Dr. Gupta has such a sensible perspective about ectopic heart
beats and high blood pressure that it has a calming effect on you and it makes you think your health concerns in a more practical way.
These videos from you are life changing. Cardiologist told me he doesn’t need to see me again but didn’t relieve my anxieties regarding these palpitations. Thank you! God bless you.
I love this story about taking the 100 people off the street and fitting them with halters. The link to anxiety is so valuable to know about. Thank you for all that you do.
The most useful video I have ever seen on TH-cam. Amazingly helpful. Thank you very much Dr Gupta.
THANK YOU!!! You will never know how much you are appreciated Dr.🙏🏼
this has helped me so much. im so thankful to have found you. i have been going through awful anxiety the past 2 weeks, and when i am finally calming down, a get the thuds in my chest and it ramps it all up again. i have been diagnosed with health anxiety, and you really spoke to me. thank you so so much!! im hoping that this can be the beginning of the end of my cardiophobia.
Thank you so much Dr! I am going through exactly what you have described. Unfortunately, my stress is also creating a spike in my BP. I am just so drained. I am in the midst of all of my cardio testing, but I have been reassured MANY times that I am fine and that it is my stress causing all of my issues. I am a 37 YO Male, a bit overweight, but active. Non drinker, non smoker, no caffeine... What on Earth am I so afraid of?! This video was such a reassurance and will help me on my journey to better mental health.
I could watch you all day. So professional yet friendly and down to earth. A friend in my head. Wish all doctors were so thorough in explaining things. 🙏 God bless
This guy is the man! Thx for the thorough explanation from the cognitive and physiological sides.
Respectful Dr. Gupta,
Your words six years ago still continue to save people lives.
Thank you very much.
One should listen to you every day of the week! You really calm one's nerves. Listening to you helps so much more than consulting doctors. Thanks for these videos
Everything you said in this video resonates with me. You explain all of my thoughts and symptoms. Why did it take me this long to find you. You are so knowledgeable and helpful. Very reassuring. Thank you so very much!
Hi Sanjay
I would just like to thank you for doing these videos. I can just imagine how many peoples minds you have given peace too.
In my case I get the missed beats or a pause every minute or so , I know I’m a person who makes life hard for myself as I’m a
Perfectionist in everything I try to do in life, it’s just the way I am but it takes it’s toll with stress I create for myself .
It’s a hard task to try to ignore the pause of my heartbeat especially when my head is on my pillow at night.
Listening to your explanations of the different heartbeats and what they are has given me relief from the worry
of my particular issue. Keep up your good work. Thank you.
I can only echo the many comments about this video. Mr Gupta, please realise what tremendous help and assurance this video is to thousands of people who, like me, suffer from fear and anxiety regarding health issues. Thank you. I actually first watched this video around 5 years ago when I first experienced ectopics and thought I was seriously ill. The tests showed that I wasn't ill and my heart is 'normal'. I've had them from time to time since and managed to dismiss them - until the last week when they returned and the anxiety of course made them worse. I couldn't find your video until today and once again it has lightened the load and lifted the great weight that I was in danger of succumbing to. Your manner is so good.
Doc, THANKS! Felt like you lifted a big weight off my shoulders by describing this fear I've been having so accurately ,and the anxiety associated with it. Will get on that magnesium and try to be more relaxed. Thanks again!
You have quickly became my favourite dr to watch. I have health anxiety especially regarding my heart and you are very reassuring.Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge.How I wish you were here in Canada !
Never seen a good doctor like this in my life. Thanks for this very informative video keep posting!!👍
Thank you so much for taking the time to comfort those of us who are terrified of ectopics. I love the story of your son and the dog and how you said that they (ectopics) have been with us for so many years and nothing bad has happened. It's so true. I used to think I was going to die every night when I went to bed because when I first lie down I always get ectopics. Now, after having them for so many years I just expect them to come when I lie down and it really doesn't scare me anymore. Now if I could just do that with the rest of my life. My ectopics are very closely associated with my anxiety and they usually spike during anxious times in my life; Then the vicious cycle starts. But you are right, they haven't killed me yet and my mother and other family members have lived with them up to old age and have been fine. I wish I could just retrain my brain to accept them - I have had my heart checked out and been told many times it is fine and not to worry about the ectopics. It's definitely my Achilles heel. Your patience and uplifting words of comfort are more helpful than you will ever know. I think of your talks often when I am at my lowest point - Thank you Dr. Gupta!
How are you now / what has worked for you?
I lost an entire night of sleep last night because of ectopics. everytime i was about to sleep, bang. i sat upright listening to the snores of other family members :( and this after a whole week of reducing my anxiety around them.
ambaro ali that’s what I’m doing right now
its why im here, how did you deal with this problem, i have exams and i am exhausted in the morning because of this.
Same here, 30 years of it 😔
@@louiseprice7755 30 years no way… I been living with it for couple months I can’t take it anymore they lead to panic attacks and every time the hospital says sinus tachycardia that’s im fine.
Great video. Yes it's true anxiety plays a great role.
Thank you for this calming, reassuring insight!! I have definitely felt nervous and worrisome about these ectopic beats. I will remember this and cherish this always! 💐
Thank you so much! I've dealt with these for years and been to the ER several times because of them. They have just recently started up again over the last few days, after about a year with none; you have significantly put my mind at ease.
Thank you for talking about fear , you have a way of expressing yourself that I totally understand
You're amazing! I cannot believe I came across this video. I have had heart flutters for a while now, also thumps and what feels like skipped beats. I seen a cardiologist and he perscribed a heart monitor I had to wear for an entire month. Yes, he seen the changes in my heart rhythm but he said they were normal and also benign. After that I also went in for a stress test. I did the treadmill test which was fun. I hoped I didn't have a coronary doing it. 😂 I passed with flying colors and could have even gone a little longer. He ruled out it was anxiety related and the pain I do get at times in my chest was skeletal related as I have bad posture. To this day I keep thinking maybe he's missed something and maybe I should go to get a second opinion. After watching this video I feel so relieved BECAUSE I notice if I anxious or I'm stressed or haven't slept good the bight prior, I get these heart issues more then if I wasn't anxious, stressed and slept well. Thank you for making this video. I'm saving it so I can refer to it to remind myself I'm ok. I will also be sharing it with a anxiety support group who's many followers auffer qith the same heart issues.
Thank you SO much for this advice! You are an amazing person and doctor! This info, even though I've heard it many times in my life has made me cry...tears of joy, not sadness. You reminded me. I'm also comforted to know there must be so many other people like me! You spoke to a general, wide audience, but, I felt like you were talking directly to me! Thank you so much! I have conquered much of my anxiety, however, it is a sneaky SOB, it manifests itself in many different ways, just when you think you've got it all handled! Sorry for the expletive, and I don't mean shortness of breath! 😆 My fear came from an anxious parent, Mom, and a father who dropped dead of arrhythmia at 58 in front of her when I was 25. I'm 62 now, so it proves I haven't died from ectopic yet!!!!
Dr Gupta, I can’t thank you enough for all the wonderful videos you are sharing with us. You are truly amazing! I’m going through a difficult time with anxiety right now because of the palpitations. I’ve had all the test and I’m fine. I’ve been able to work through the anxiety in the past but not now. Your videos have helped me so much to truly
understand what’s happening. I know my reflux is not helping. Thank you again and you are such blessing!!!
Your videos are really helpfull! Keem them coming :)
This was great thank you etopic sufferer since 2003 my cardilogist said everything is ok Im 52 now your right... fear thanks again God bless you and your family
This was so helpful. My doctors have never talked about this. Thank you.
Just want to say one more thing dr. you are fantastic you have made a huge difference in peoples lives wish every doctor could be as amazing as yourself . seen all the comments you are are fab
Thank you so much for this video, I woke up in the middle of the night feeling palpitations, got anxious, took extra anti-pressure pil and b-blocker, really terified. After watching your video everything went back to normal...
Thank You Doctor! You are a Magician.
Million Dollar Explanation!
Thank You, Hope you have a long and healthy life.
Thank you very much Dr Gupta! Have been having these ectopics since the last 9 months! Very reassuring !
Thank you so much!!!!!! I am grateful for your knowledge and Kindness!!! Fear has caused me a bunch of problems this past year. I am more confident now that I can reduce my palpitations and afib!!! I feel relieved :-)
Bless your heart Doctor! Love it 🙏🏼 After Covid I’m getting a lot of them, Holter showed 1,300 in 24 hours. Doctors said it isn’t much of a concern at the moment and and my heart is structurally fine.
This has helped me so much. My cardiologist scared the hell out of me last week before taking any blood or doing an echo and I've been feeling horrible and constantly feeling palpitations since then.
Thank you so much! My cardiologist told me the same several time, but in your explanation I trust! Bless you 🙏
Wow Dr. Sanjay Gupta you've literally helped me this moment. Thank you very much!!!! All I can repay you is a subscribe and watch your videos, but from the bottom of my heart, thank you!!
Thank you for doing this. I've been getting the pause then slam beat since I was 11 years old. They have always scared me. I have normal ekg but I have a HUGE anxiety of them. I hate them. They go away for months-years but then when I get them again they stay for weeks-months on end. They ruin my days. I worry about them so much. Listening to you has calmed me and for that I'm grateful. I'm actually watching you while in tears. Thank you, Dr.
Steph1323201 I feel you on that. They're so frustrating.
Steph1323201 same.
😭
I completely understand! I’m now 28 weeks pregnant and it has become so much worse .
I have them too. I started a beta blocker and I thought I was cured. I didn’t have skipped beats for over a month. I was crying and thanking the Lord . Then all of sudden I’ve been dealing with them for over a week! It’s driving me crazy. I just wish I didn’t feel them! I ask why me?! Why do I have to feel every time my heart skips. Only the ones that go through it understands. My husband says, just relax and don’t think about it. But it’s hard not too.
Great easy to follow explanations. Great job Dr.
Dr, your words alone, takes the edge off. Thank you. Been listening to your yt everyday.
Thank you for educating us about this topic. As someone who is prone to worry, this allows me to understand and logically approach solutions to my symptoms. This is very much appreciated.
Thank you for this video. You soothe my fears. I am currently wearing a Holter monitor for a week. The cardiologist didn't even want to give it to me after my EKG was normal in the office, but I asked for it for reassurance. The ectopics make me crazy, and then the fear causes more ectopics. It's awful.
Ashley Desjardins how did that go? My doctor doesn’t really want to give me one either. Everything came back normal and he says palpitations aren’t harmful to me.
@@BenRunyan Wearing the halter now. I will check back in :-)
Thank you for this video! I've had a 30-day event monitor and it all checked out fine, I was just diagnosed with having PVCs and told to exercise and avoid things that could give me heartburn. I keep coming back to this video though, because my pvcs have gotten a bit more frequent recently. Hoping they calm down soon once I calm down about them!!
+Christina Bynum Take magnesium i went from having 30 a day to only 1 !!! it works
+nassim chikh what kind do you take??
L-carnitine, L-Arginine, Omega, Taurine, Nd magnesium. My PVCs and PACs have almost disappeared.
How r u doing now?? M suffering too with the ectopics it's soo frustrating.....your rply will help me alot
Yes! He has saved my sanity and my life when I’ve had full blown panic attacks. He is an eminence in his field and his voice and knowledge are very comforting. God bless him
Here’s the understatement of the year: This guy is amazing!
No doctor in India explains like you do. I hve been in fear since last 4 years, did angiogram, ecg, echo. Everything comes normal but doctor never explains anything. I am still feeling palpitations but it's fine now. Thank you so much. Love from Ahmedabad, Gujarat (India)
if they will explain everything and tell us that palpitations are totally harmless then how will they make money because we will stop visiting them. Been having palpitations for a year and did many ECG, echo, tmt etc nothing came out but still occasionally have them. When I have them I watch this video.
I have had some nerve pain issues caused by a fall I had earlier in the year. I have been going to physical Therapy but over a few month or so I thought I was having heart issues due to the nerve pain I had in my left arm and ectopic heart beats (didnt even know what they were at the time). I have gotten it checked out a few times and everything is normal (I am 25 almost 26).
I only get ectopics if I am sitting for a while and then start doing something which requires a lot of arm movement or movement in general aside from walking such as changing laundry where I have to bend down to place/remove clothes from the dryer. I have been losing quite a bit of weight due to diet changes but not been physically active much. They were concerning to me but through these videos and speaking with my doctor I am much less fearful of them, I am almost fascinated by them now. I oddly only get ectopics at work if I eat something extremely overfilling or greasy.
I really want to thank you for making these videos Dr. Gupta, they have helped me understand that this is all natural.
Thank you Dr Gupta I felt like you were talking about me. I have been having ectopic for a very long time. This video really reassured me.
Thank you so much! I feel so reassured! Since listening to your videos my palpitations have decreased 90%
